Painted head and cabinet

[JoeCon]

Very Nice.

I need to do that to my Rocket and Rockster....

[JazzGuitarGimp]

Hey rj, do you prefer your pedals on top of the amp, or was stage not big enough to put them on the floor?

[RJ Guitars]

Nice looking rig! Would love to hear some sound clips too...

By the way, it's very cool that you are playing a Wreck clone right there in New Jersey.

Being that the top cabinet- without the handle and all, makes for a good platform- I usually only bring one or 2 pedals to a gig- and being in a building type of mode - I decide to build a pedal board - I never liked pedals on the ground anyway- never have room for that - So I cut out a 3/8 marine ply board slightly smaller that the top of the rocket-painted and finished it the same - and mounted the following - Fulltone trem - DLS Chorus ViBrato - Pork Loin- Aqua Puss- Boss RV3- The cabinet is Radiata Pine- lightweight- 3/8" BC pine baffle with 1/4" X 1" edge strip (what's the official name for that piece?) Sears "Whipped Mint" latex paint, Minwax Polycrylic Protective Finish - which is water based. Weber 15F150 30 watt speaker. I favor the 15 speakers. My settings are - cut - zero, bass- 3, treble- 3, volume- about 4/5ths of the way up. tone down 60% on guitar- Rocket does the old school - flat-low fi - sound like no other.

Rocket at another gig

Is that a 15 in the cabinet... I think you might have told at one time. I am curious which one you use and if the cabinet is open back?

[njwrecks]

Hi RJ- its a weber 15" - 15F150- 30 watt VC.
open back - with 3/4" square pine glued all around the opening.
I added a closed back, closed back with a hole in the center, top and bottom packpanels, single bottom panel. Sounds the best with no panels at all. Once I glued the wood to mount the panels, it changed the sound slightly- made it a tighter bottom. I was origionally running with no panels and no wood to mount the panels to. Every configuration has a different sound. I always tune to get the lows and the highs out. These new speakers have too many highs and lows.

Great shot, everyone loves girls and amps!
