How cool would this be? Amp Covering Material Question

[Scott_F]

You know that rubberized stuff they put in pickup beds? How cool would that be instead of black tolex? Put about 3 coats of that textured stuff on an amp and it never have a tolex tear again!

Your vote counts!

ha! Leave it to a Texan to try to make an amp more like a pick-up truck.

How 'bout a gun rack on the back & some steer horns on the top to use instead of a handle?

Rhino Lining? Why not, I've seen a guy that coated his entire Jeep in that stuff instead of paint.

Lots of colors!

Damn, a gunrack? That's genius!

Actually, the more I think about it the more I like it. Pretty cool idea IMO.

dark blue!

Although I still want an amp cabinet dyed and clear finished like a nice guitar sometime.

wow thats a cool idea! once im in college and if you make ur amp in head form, im definitely gonna get it! after you post clips of course.

i like them equal though, not the coating better than tolex. i just think tolex looks cool!

Hmmm I've always wanted an amp covered in dark green tolex, but could never find any... maybe dark green Durabak is the answer!

:laugh2:

I think it'd be a great option. I don't know why Tolex is so popular.

Voodoo Amps offers some similar coverings in Tolex.

I make no claims to when clips will be provided. I still feel too many factors in releasing clips. You can bogus up a clip to make the amp sound darn near anything.

That's why I'm offering a 48 hour approval period. You don't like it, send it back.

Maybe you should bundle it with an EBMM Sub 1.

No pun intended but that seems like a pretty road-worthy covering. Do you think it would goop up around the edges, making it harder to pull the chassis?

Re: How cool would this be? Amp Covering Material Question

Either build it a tiny bit wider or consider it can be rather thin there on the edges, but I get your point. Seems like a cool idea to me. Something better than tolex perhaps.

understandable. cliips dont do justice to true tone, ever.

I would take note and walk on by. Not what I would look for in a quality amp-your aim right?. I am excited to see what you come up with but I don't think it will boost the amps' appeal.

Re: How cool would this be? Amp Covering Material Question

I think it's innovative. That's the point, isn't it?

Re: How cool would this be? Amp Covering Material Question

I think with a name like Celtic Amplifiers, if you cover them in anything other than some shade of darker green, you're cutting yourself short. I definitely want a green amplifier with silver trimmings..that would be so freakin cool

Re: How cool would this be? Amp Covering Material Question

I think it's a great idea, Scott, as long as you just make it an option. I'd like an amp with it, but I think there are many who have to have tolex. But definitely make it an option.

you're damn right it would be.

Actually Scott, when I read or say "Celtic Amplifiers" the first thing that pops into my head is a green tolexed or covered amp with a silver badge, faceplate, or accents. That would be awesome.

Re: How cool would this be? Amp Covering Material Question

i'd want to hear if it had a noticeable sonic effect before committing to it .. i fear it would dampen the cabinet's contribution to the tone ... which, depending on taste, may or not be desireable

cool idea to try though
