My Polished Aluminum & Marble GC

Flappytango · 21st January 2005, 05:13 AM

Thought i would share some pics of my first gainclone.

I thought about alot of chasis designs from looking at various galleries and then came up with this. I hadnt seen much highly polished metal in the designes and came up with the marble idea after i did some stone work on my fireplace.

Im real happy with the aesthetic results and sounds good so far but have yet to really evaluate it.

Thanks to Brian for the kit.

Wow!

That piece is outstanding, great looks

It will be very amusing to compare the sound with the top lid off.

WOW!

Lucky *******!

That enclosure looks REALLY cool! How are the different pieces held together?

I've not heard of one made of marble either to be honest. But the case does look very good.

It's a very pretty amp, very good work!

Yes, you can have good vibraphones made out of aluminium. And the strings of violins are often made out of alu.

And there are still instruments, made of marple:

marble violin

And they write, the sound is good!

BTW: amps are not instruments, isn't it?
