The Faux Fawn AC30 - Build and Demo

Фильм және анимация

Take an in-depth look at the completed "Faux Fawn" amp project!
Click here for part 1: • Fawn AC30 Inspired Cab...
I opted for the idea of charm and quirkiness when selecting the Vox MV50 micro amp to be housed inside this custom cabinet. Also, I'm not an amp expert and wasn't prepared to learn. This was more about being "fun". How does it sound? How does it compare? How does it look? All questions are answered in this video.

    Hey Luke, Absolutely stunning work on this video. Really a great watch and a lot of very nice information. I am currently restoring a Vox AC30 cabinet from 1970 and I was wondering; how did you make the faux nameplate on the back? Mine is missing the original backplate and I want to make something similar as yours. Many thanks!!

    Hey Ruben, I googled for a while till I found a nice image of an original rear plate, then I modified it / customized it in photoshop and printed it on some adhesive vinyl, which I adhered to some spare aluminum plate that I had laying around. I'm sure there's more than one way to do it, but I had all the ingredients handy.

    The carpet looks the same as the “Overelook Hotel” from “the Shining.” I know that has nothing to do with the video, but I noticed it and just had to point it out😂
