Cool amp head cabinets

ROOG

Reading the P1800 self build thread got me thinking, if I built one what would I house it in?

The easy, and nice, choice would be to use a ready made case following the lines of the original, but what head designs have you seen that you think are cool and really set it apart from the usual?

On the amp maker website there is an awesome home made pine one, I'll see if I can find it.

You bastards, I'd managed to totally forget that these existed until just. And now I want one again

@IanSavage that's a cool idea too, love the 'spun brushed' finish, think I've seen this on some high end car dash

It's called "fish scaling" and all you need is a pillar drill some carborundum paste, a suitable diameter piece of nylon bar and an apprentice to spend 10 hours doing it.
Ah that takes me back <wibbly flashback music>....

i have a peavey wiggy head and matching 2x12...and i was pondering if it was feasible to have an amp built into it...

it's been in the cupboard under the stairs for a couple of years now...i always thought it looked fab

that peavey was Dweizel Zappers design wasn't it ?

Yeah, but I always thought it sounded... Well, kinda like a posh looking peavey bandit! It's got the same T-Dynamics control to simulate power amp compression, so I'm assuming it's basically a 'bandit plus'. 

Could be wrong. 

paulads

yes...a trifle wacky, perhaps...
