I considered adding speakers for microphone recordings, probably not right away though.
With the space available in the case I could get creative with things like alternative reverb tanks or other add-ons too.
The Tolex arrived. It’s a little lighter yellow than I anticipated but I might be warming up to it. I also bought some black amp hardware for the corners. I have time though, I haven’t even picked up any 1/2” Baltic birch plywood yet.
I almost did the same but I decided to wait it out. I’m glad I did but I’m sure the black would be fine too. You can always add a spring reverb externally.
The one in the blue/gray sounds good but it’s not like it’s going to be winning awards at the spring reverb fashion show or anything.
Is it reasonably easy to adapt the regular model to use an external spring, i don’t know but isn’t there some amplification into a spring. If’n i wanted to do some twangin’ at spring reverb fashion show ?
Actually if i was going to do something custom with a real spring i’d think about doing something like the Fjærlett spring resonator, and just have it a plug in effect for any output. ( Especially given that the Fjærlett has like a ten year wait list.)
I made a similar choice and ordered the standard before the Blue and Grey were in stock. Honestly, I haven’t been bothered by the digital spring emulation–I don’t love spring reverbs anyway, and I find that a fairly low reverb setting adds a nice little depth to the sounds. And honestly, I kind of prefer the black/orange design (and the colored leds, but I know I’m in the minority here!).
That is awesome. The lighter, more lemony yellow is better actually. Great work getting the tolex to fit around the edges and over the details. Yellow cables too ! Good deal.
Now Behringer needs to follow through with some more blue accessories, like the 1601, etc.
When it showed up in the mail I was a little disappointed. After building the case I’m actually happy with the more “cream” yellow too.
Either way I had a feeling it would look great with that deep blue
It was my first time doing Tolex but I caught on pretty quickly.
It makes it easier that I was cutting boards and doing the Tolex at the same time. I was able to make adjustments as I went to compensate for the thickness so it came out really well.
I already had those yellow cables from my Modular setup. The color actually matches the Tolex almost perfectly.
I’d make a matching “skiff” for a blue 1601
I also did the offset feet like in the design. Luckily there are lots of supplies at guitar amp shops for this type of stuff.
