Cut my head off. Pics.

[LosingReality]

So today i decided.....im going to cut my 5150 combo in half and make it a 60watt tube head.

Took about 4 hours total, didnt run into any problems.....very easy to do.


This is how it went.

Wow dude, that's definitely a new one, but nicely done! What're you gonna do with the V30s?

damn, thats impressive. i'm in the minority here since i dont have a garage full of power tools? or even since i dont have a garage? either way, badass man. DIY done right is always impressive to me

Add it to a cab that im getting shipped with only 2 v30s in it.

It took me a screw driver, jig zaw and staples to do it.

Oh and tolex adhesive.

nice one dude, but you could have used some very nice smelling and strong adehsive on the underside like when i chopped up my vs8080 but it looks really cool anyway though, good work!

I did. I used contact cement. The staples are just to hold it while it dried.

Not really a new one, I've seen a lot of people do this before, I thought it was common knowledge?

 

[Jackal_Strain]

So how does this sound, compared to the "real" head?

 

[Metaltastic]

From what I've heard, the combos are biased a bit warmer and sound a bit darker, which is A-ok with me! (hell, I got some tones I was happy with mic'ing the stock Sheffields in my old one!) And it may only be 60 watts, but it was LOOOOOOOUUUUUDDDDD, jaysus chroist...

nice job!

My old man has a 5150 combo, and it sounds wicked! and is loud as fuck!
he also has 2 wolfgang guitars, and a slew of handbuilt amps. he made a jcm 900/ 800 clone that is switchable between the 2 models. he also made a vox ac 30 clone and a bunch of TS`s

sorry for the OT, I love my old man haha

You shouldn't use a jig saw bare foot
