18 watt mini shape

Post by LeeM »

I think the shape is way cool. Who needs another standard shape box? I like the stained wood look also. If I could do dovetail joints I'd do that myself more often. Speaker choice is so subjective and personal you might consider offering it without a speaker. I'd imagine many potential buyers have several 10" speakers lying around. For budget speakers, you should try the generic Eminence 10" also. It's under $40.

Fred,

The board on which the speaker is mounted is a piece of laser-cut 1/4" plywood. It is attached only at the top and the bottom by 4 screws. It is free to vibrate in the middle. Tweed Fenders were built this way and it provides for a relatively lively speaker baffle which I think contributes to the tone. Whether that contribution is good or bad remains to be discussed, but I think it can be good for a guitar amp.
