Custom speaker cabinets for sale.....

I found this site from a guy at work that may interest some around here. My friend bought the vertical 2x12 cabinet and I had him get the 20" pedal board (further down the page) for me to include in the shipment. We'll see how this thing is quality-wise when it gets here:

Re: Custom speaker cabinets for sale.....

Thanks for the link. That one gets saved! I was looking forward to building a cabinet. Now I'm starting to look forward to not building it.
 
Re: Custom speaker cabinets for sale.....

I may actually order that ported 2x12 cab he makes. That's a kller price and I can tung oil it!
 
Re: Custom speaker cabinets for sale.....

I like the look of the Theile cab he makes, definitely curious what you think about it.
 
Re: Custom speaker cabinets for sale.....

Those are nice looking cabs, especially the natural finished ones. I'm still going to make my own because I love building stuff. Today I'm going to start on my 2 1-12 stack.

No problem! Yeah that was my reasoning behind the pedal board. I know I would spend way more than $39 buying the materials and gas to get them, plus the time spent trying to assemble it would probably take me all weekend and I'd get frustrated a couple hundred times causing my blood pressure to spike. At this price point it's worth it. And now I can focus on what I can do better than woodwork: pedals!
 
Re: Custom speaker cabinets for sale.....

FYI, those cabs (what I saw) are made from Pine, and will sound different than say Birch ply. Not a thing wrong with Pine, just that it is different than what you may be expecting.

For all I know the guy offers Birch ply as well.

He does it's listed there. And I think you can also call and get a more customized order too, not just the standard stuff he shows on the website.

How would pine hold up for heavier stuff? COC, Sabbath, little bit of faster stuff as well like older megadeth? I've always been curious about pine, but never tried it and this price looks good enough to risk it maybe.
 
Re: Custom speaker cabinets for sale.....

Pine was traditionally used in Fender cabs, but one is not really better than the other, just different.

Considering the builders prices, try both and sell off the one you don't like.

UPDATE: The pedalboard should be coming this week. I will post about the quality as soon as it gets here. I had the guy modify the design and make it 24" wide instead of 20" and I had him make the top piece of birch solid instead of slotted. I prefer to have the entire surface available for pedal mounting and drill holes on my own later to customize my wire routing.
 
Re: Custom speaker cabinets for sale.....

Sorry I forgot to get back to this. The pedal board is not bad. He only used 3/4" plywood for the side panels, and 1/2" everywhere else. If I had known that I probably would have asked him to use 3/4" everywhere. It's not a big deal though. I'm going to cut some 2x6's to add some support in the middle and on the side where my crybaby is since that pedal takes some pressure to turn it on and off. But the birch plywood is good quality, and he glued all of the joints as well as screwed them. The next step for me is to cover it in a carpet material of some sort, mount a power module underneath, and mount the pedals on top and start connecting everything. I probably won't get to it for a month or so as my girl and I are saving some money right now, but I'll post pictures of the project once I start working on it.

My buddy at work said the vertical 2x12 cabinet he bought was great. He's already put tolex, speakers, and wired it up.

So I would recommend this maker if you're looking for custom cabinets and/or a custom wood pedal board. He's very nice to deal with, and made everything within a week.
 
Re: Custom speaker cabinets for sale.....

I've been watching that guy for months on eBay.
Never could quite pull the trigger, but I really like what he's making.
I'm glad to hear that it looks like quality stuff.
 
Re: Custom speaker cabinets for sale.....

Tim (who is the maker) made me a custom 1x12 ported cab that is big enough to put my Marshall head on. I wouldn't let the pine scare you, it sounds great and is fairly light. I got mine with the natural finish, but if I were to do it again, I would get with tolex and do a ported 2x12.

I have a couple YouTube clips of it, and some recorded clips of it on the web...

I will post them for you guys. The only downside about it was the build time, but I would but from him again!
