![]() ![]() Might not get used a lot but there are a few places that I’d like to try it. Ideally that Vox dry sound cranked to keep up with the other amps would give some great sounds. If the Vox works out, as in gives me the tone I need, I will also have the option of adding it to the stereo set up to create a wet-dry-wet setup by using my ABY splitter before my pedalboard. If it’s a larger venue, or outdoors I can grab two amps and cabs, and run in stereo. If I want louder or perhaps might not have the mic option, I grab an amp and extension cab, usually placing The cab further back on stage, so I and the drummer can hear it nicely. If i need louder than one amp I can get mic’ed into a decent PA with monitors, so I grab one amp. I have two YGL-1 amps and two 1x12 extension cabs (closed back) ![]() I exclusively run a 15 watt Traynor YGL-1 amp (on Brit setting) My pedalboard is built to provide either a stereo, or mono signal. I run a pedal board with multiple effects but no distortion pedal. tubes for sure (gotta always retube a new amp, I opt for mid to higher quality tubes) I’m not an amp wizard by any means but have had a lot of time on different amps. If I’m going to use this for smaller jam nights, or practicing with my band an open back is better, because of the spreading of the sound. ![]() It is a commonly held observation that a closed back cab is punchier with a tighter bass response, while being more directional, for example louder in front, less to the sides and even less behind. I am not sure a ten inch openback is ideal as far as bass tones are concerned but the 12 will make up for that. I prefer an open back combo, it spreads the sound around. Putting in a 12 inch, which will push more air around will probably react a lot differently in there, probably not in a good way. ![]() Vox likely designed the closed system around the speaker, with a vent at the top and a small slot in the bottom rear. There’s a few things that drive the open back option for me. Maybe dig up a Vox emblem to finish the look which my MS paint version does not have. You could use mdf or pine from Home Depot, spray the front black, and then use Vox cloth for the whole front. (If someone wants to measure that would be great but you would be need to remove all the cloth and tolex to cut the new hole which would not be fun. Given the cabinet dimensions width wise it should be possible to move the transformers further to the side and relocate the tubes so allow for the depth of a 12 inch.ġ) cut power tube mounting tab with a dremel but leave the 90 degree flangeĢ) turn the power tubes 90 degrees and mount to the edge of the metal panel (might be needed for grounding)ģ) move both transformer up and to the side while still mounting to the metal panel for grounding (this would be a good time to make sure a 90 degree turn of either transformer wouldn't help with hum)Ĥ) While you could likely reuse the cloth and tolex of the original the leather upper would likely obscure the upper part of a 12 inch cone so a new baffle would need to be made. The screws for the transformers are not visible from the outside which is great. The question I need answered before moving forward is what is the depth from the back of the speak baffle to the back of the MDF back panel? So as you can see the tubes are mounted on a cut piece of the metal mounting board which is then mounted to the back panel via screws. ![]()
