Ugly ugly Framus...

[Beastly]

yeah, i love the sound of this amp (cobra), but i cant look at the thing without a lil cringe. Its not going anywhere mind you, like i said, i love the sound and that's all that matters.

But i have some ideas
First....it would look pretty slick IMO if the charcoal on silver faceplate was silver on charcoal (reverse print)
Second...those red lights...ugh....im thinkin...electric blue...yeah
Third....It would possibly be the nicest looking rack amp i could think of....is it even possible to convert a head into a rackmount?

damn that'd be purty

just thinkin out loud.....or whatever, i havent technically made a sound, but you know what i mean...

Anybody think about modding their uggo cobra...if i change the lights do i change the tone hahaha (thinkin about that divinity thread where a disengaged pot made the amp sound better...it would be funny if bypassing or changing the lights affected tone)

anyway.....back to work i guess

I like the way the Cobra looks:confused:

I wish Framus would do the Cobra in a Dragon-type headshell. Screw diffrent color lights and faceplates.

[Beastly]

i would even dig that dragon look more myself

[Beastly]

anybody convert a head to a rackmount before? is it do-able?

[Beastly]

[Kyle DiSanto]

I never understood why ppl dont like the cobra's look, I think its looks as mean as it sounds!

Different strokes for different folks......

I like the way they look too...like an armor clad warrior awaiting to administer some sonic bombardment!

[Beastly]

haha, thats funny/true......if i could change only one of those things it would be the red lights i guess.

Altho rackmountable would be slick {censored}

I've been thining about replacing the Framus logo with a custom made Cobra head logo a la GI Joe . . . but I'm kind of an idiot.

[cobrahead1030]

put in a road case on a dark stage, i like how it looks that way

[Primex]

Hmm, I'm also with you!

So how about a black face Cobra?
The only thing is: How to paint it without loosing the fonts?

well put:thu:

[Dropped_2_C]

one possible way would be to do a flat black ala rectofier background with a jet(gloss) black screened print and logo.

[jonny toetags]

i don't mind it, but i love it when it's with a Cobra cab (like in ihave27frets/Pete's pic)

[supercow3]

I have always prefer the looks of a dragon than the cobra

[64DUECE]

I think the Cobra is one of the coolest looking amps ever.

[oddone]

it looks like a toaster

Hey is that a Royal Blue Custom 22? Nice top! Do you have more pics? I'd love to see them as I'm having major PRS gas at the moment.

 

 

 

On topic; yeah, I think the Cobra looks average at best, the lights are the lamest part for me.

[DirtyBird]

It would look better if that cheezy 70s style interlocking lattice grill were separated from the control panel somehow.

It's the depth of thecontrol panel in teh head that makes amps like JCM800s and 5150s and stuff look cool.

Engl's get away with it because their control panels are noticeably distinct from the grille.

Except for the FIreball/Powerball, in which case they just got lucky because the grill doesnt really have much in common with the control panel except for the fact taht they're on the same plane.

But you just have this weird wall of matte gray on the Cobra, and then that interlocking lattice thing ALMOST looks cool... but not quite.

i think the cobra looks cool.
