Members Cosmic_Monkey Posted May 4, 2006 Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 This is my largest project to date, I'm particularly proud of it cause it sounds great. It's a clone of a Blackface Vibrolux built on a trashed Deluxe chassis. I decided to use modern style parts like 1% metal film resistors and such and it sounds clean. I figured I'd leave the vintage style stuff out there for all those "Mojo" guys. The only real snag I ran into was the faceplate, when I ordered it I thought the amp was really a Vibrolux because it had a 80's Vibrolux Custom faceplate on it. So if you look, you can see I had to cut a piece out to make it fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RoboPimp Posted May 4, 2006 Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 looks great, any gut shots, clips? did you build/tolex the cab too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RupertB Posted May 4, 2006 Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 Pretty work, man. Love the brown tolex/wheat grill combination. I bet it sounds great too. I had the pleasure of trying out an old blackface Vibrolux a while back & IMO they are the cream of the Fender crop. Its in the top 3 on my "Next Build" list. What speaker did you put in it?

Members Cosmic_Monkey Posted May 4, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 4, 2006 I'll try to get some clips and inside pics up when I can, I'm using dial-up so it takes a long time to upload big files. I wish I'd done a before/after type thing with the inside. It was so mutilated by some hack technician it was beyond recognition, which why I had a hard time figuring out what it really was. The cabinet was custom made by a guy I found on eBay, I wish I could remember his name; he does great work at very reasonable prices. My end of the work on it was mainly inside, it's basically a brand new amp now; all that's original is the backplate, chassis, output transformer and a few switches and jacks. The speakers are 10" Eminence Copperheads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
