DIY 4x12 Guitar Cab | Process / Demo | 2017 (HD) 

Chuck H Thanks!

and unable to be heard because of that line 6 crap in front

It's not really fixed in place 😂 I made it barely fit, so it's stays in place by itself. Since the cab is only for home use I'm okay with this. It weighs approximately 2 metric tons, so it'll stay at home.

yes that's kind of important detail for recreating the sound,

justin barrett look at Bauhaus or Hornbach! I don't have a diagram since I re-used the speakers and wiring of an old ENGL cab that I gutted. It has Vintage 30 Speakers by Celestion.

Yes check my band Soulhenge and my project No Ostriches on bandcamp :)

yeah i'm checking them!! :D

Yep stock Lithium pickups! I did this noob joint because I've almost never done woodwork before and this was way easier for me and faster. I built this thing in 5 days from scratch.

That cab turned out great with the amount of woodworking experience you claim to have. Great job on that! I think I am going to look into the Lithium pickups. Thanks for replying!

Ivan Loaces It was a pretty heavy rasp, then I sanded it to make it smooth :)

Awesome, thanks for the info. I’m getting one tomorrow.

Yesss! ;)

it was 18mm which is slightly thinner than 3/4"

Tyler Newstead I mentioned tube-town in this video, where I got the tolex and the corners etc. I gutted and old ENGL cab for the speakers, which were my only reference for the measurements. It's just a wooden box in the end haha

If you pause the video at around 0:28 you can see the sketch with the measurements on the right. Top and bottom: 35x75, sides: 35x 71,5, back and front: 71x71 (Everything in centimeters) and 18mm thickness overall. I know, I didn't have to buy the speakers and even used some hardware from the old cab so I spent around 200€ for woods and tolex etc. Speakers are really expensive but also the most important part of the speaker. I haven't tried it without isolation on the back. I think it just can be better with it (but I could be wrong). You're right for that price you get an decent used cab but is the Marshall as good as your own built cab? Plus yours is unique AND you just crafted this thing with your own hands. My next project will be a 2x12!

James Sealy I had a donor cab and I rewired everything how it was ;) That's all I can tell you.

1/4 inch out goes into the return of your fx loop of the amp! There's no need for other settings I think. Just disable your cab on the POD.

thank you.. and what about the amp/line switch which should i choose, i don't think i would have much time there in stage for sound check so i want to sound best as possible.

What do you mean exactly? Amp settings?

In hd500 near the expression pedal there is a small switch with amp and line option ( i thing you get it ). what should i choose.

I have it on "Line"

It's a demo song that I wrote a good while ago.

Wilmer Lebron It is still nice today I think. Maybe I'll do a little comparison video some time.

I didn't calculate anything.

isolating the back panel reduces sound reflection inside the cabinet and make it sound tighter

Jake Lavery: I had some discomfort with the luthier because of quality issues. I sold the guitar 3 weeks after getting it and took down the video because I did not want to lead attention to a brand I wasn't satisfied with. I didn't want to be dick and bitch around though.

Soulhenge Fair enough man that's understandable, I hope you have better luck with future purchases.

mees kenter Wood and parts around 200€. And many many hours of work ;)

He said Celestion Vintage, probably V30.

I put a V30 and Greenback in mine. The V30 is just soooo good

Andrzej Kossuth I've never built anything like this before. I got minor experience with how to handle some woodwork tools but not much. I basically learnt by doing step by step. In fact it's just a box in vinyl with speakers in it. I think if you use some brains and don't have two left hands it should be possible for anyone :)

Well the old ENGL cab was 350€ (totally beaten up and abused). This is less what 4 V30s would cost new. I think wood, glue, tolex and smaller stuff like the corners added up to around 160€ maybe, I can't quite remember. I have a lot of tools at home because of my dad, otherwise you'd have to lend tools from friend's like I did for the saw for instance. I'd calculate around 500€ (speakers are the most expensive component) and A LOT of time.

It's an original composition by myself.

Soulhenge well it's a damn good one..

Burr b burr b burr bee burr b burr

It's called a fretwrap and is made by Gruv Gear. It's to prevent the strings behind the nut from ringing out.

it can also be brought in front of the nut so when you do tapping solos the open strings don't ring out.

i just tie a sock on the first fret

Soulhenge, huh! Never heard of that, I need somethin like that!

garrettgodc It's better to just learn proper muting. I see a lot of guys use for sweeps, but muting with the picking hand isn't that hard once you get the hang of it.

There was no birch available at my store, only poplar ;)

it can go to 1 watt

theqrokz check my last video on the channel

@@MilianMalivukMusic Thats the pro blem with all tons of these , we at home usually dont have 40,000 dolarts worth of gear running thru pro tools , I get sick of the same thing FLUFF does it on everyone of his videos and every guitar or amp he uses sound exactly the same BORING

It says in the title, John.

should be. that tone is crap man... dont like the song either

This was a while ago, but yes, I think it was that particular cloth! I love the customizability with their tolex'es and cloths!
