And they rock! Just the right size like you used to see on the old tweed amps. Nothing too gaudy, just black and silver.
Jeremy, send me your address again, I owe you one.
My first Franklin will be ready for playing tomorrow night. Then it's time to tweak here and there, but IT'S ON BABY!
I'm having trouble locating copper colored laserable faceplate material. Maroon looks darn good, black is a no brainer, gold is a possiblity. I'll be able to offer a wide range of choices for whatever someone wants. 4, 8 and 16 ohm outputs (original Lightnings only had 4 and 8 outs). 4 controls, gain, bass, treble and Master. 3-way power switch for a standby (something the original Lightnings didn't have).
The $800 head and $1000 1x12 combo might not be introductory pricing, it might be permanent pricing. Sorry to gush, I'm getting geeked up. Once I get this first one built, I'll have enough of the basic parts to build two more. The only things I'll have to buy to complete them will be trannies and enclosures. I already have a wood, dovetail joint 1x12 coming from jeff swanson. It'll be here next week. I'm having a traditional black Matchless tolex head being built as we speak as well. Swanson seems to be able to get his stuff out the door quickly.
Sorry, I'll shut up now. :dance:
