Imagine my surprise (man cave content)

What's Hot
svejksvejk Frets: 148

I took a road trip to drop off my cab to @goldtop at an industrial unit in Cambridge. I was imagining something ordinary, so imagine my surprise when I turn up and it's Barry of Ampmakers fame. He has a truly impressive man cave... My Genz Benz 4x12 actually looked small for the first time. I asked Barry why he wanted another 4x12, and he answered "I really like stereo." Great answer.

Looks a great business, and I enjoyed a happy half hour poking through amps and hearing about top secret projects. I will certainly be in touch if I ever get round to building an amp - my mate built an Ampmaker Champ and it was great. Thanks Barry for an unexpectedly brilliant coffee break!

    If I ever rent a unit for a business, it will look like this - whatever kind of business it is :).

    See he's still got his Guytron.  I've got two of his PP18's.

    One thing to post pics of your own mancave.... another thing to post pics of someone else's and attach a name to it.

    Just re-doing mine at the moment, and cannot decide whether it's sensible to stack amps more than two cabs high, and what to do with the cases if I wallpaper the walls with  my guitars...

    The other thing too is that having them all on show might present too great a temptation to some benighted toe-rag - sad to say.

    Nice lunch break ;)

    I've built two ampmaker kits and I could not recommend them more highly.

    I wrote a short write up on the Se 5a on my blog: http://sj-effects.com/2012/10/12/ampmaker-se-5a/

    Barry is a lovely bloke with a real enthusiasm, indeed passion for what he does. Start a conversation about amps with him and expect to be late home for your tea.
