Switch Locale

Post by C Moore »

A friend has given me a bunch of old gear. With your guys help, I have already "re-purposed" a few things into guitar amps. But you are always forced to work with what space you have.
Do you guys see a "problem" with my power switch and speaker jack being this close to each other.?

I can move the speaker jack, but it will have to go up quite a bit higher. There is a sort of "trim ring" that will go over the top of what you see here, so I do not have much space available on this little back panel.

The head box is closed back. So there was no way to get access to assemble the chassis to the head box. I had to cut a back "panel" out of the head box and then make a ring to hide the cut. There is not much room on the panel before you run into that ring.

Are you asking about the 120vac lines inducing hum in the output? I don't think you have to worry.

That space.. the distance between the jacks?

That's 'amp taint'.

I don't think you will have any problems with the way you have it.

If it turns out to be noisy or problematic.. 'taint misbehaving.
