An unknown student left an Epoch 10-watt amp (6.5" speaker)in my classroom several years ago and I could neveer find the owner, so it has become mine as far as I'm concerned. I also had an Eminence 12" guiatr speaker that wasn't doing anything so naturally I had to do something. I built the cabinet out of pine with a plywood baffle, and used the hardware from the original. The finish si wood stain with Krylon-burst. So I now have a low-wattage practice amp the , so far, sounds pretty good. What do you think?

I haven't had time to really explore the tone much yet but the preliminary results are good with my strat. I really built this with the idea of using my Zoom GFX-1 in front of it as well, so tonal options will be plentiful. The finish was done with Minwax Early American stain, then some orange spray paint was sprayed on all the edges and dusted over all surfaces to warm the color a bit. Edges were then hit lightly with black spray paint and everything was clear coated a few times. Its pretty much the same finish I did on my Squier Telecaster (when I bought it, it was bare, wood-grained plastic on the front and back!). With some practice (and a total lack of fear) you can get really interesting results with rattle-cans.
