i am thinking of doing the same thing to my 2 Flextone III's i have.. i split my guitar signal into each combo and run different amp configurations together to get an overall tone that I'm pleased with.. to lighten the load, i was thinking of detaching the heads, making an enclosure for each, much like you did, and then make a speaker enclosure that would carry 2 speakers, each one dedicated to each head, since i generally would only mic one speaker from each combo anyway.

do you have any measurements, lists, blueprints, or anything that could be used to mimic what you had beautifully crafted?

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. Lots of family issues over the last 9 months. I used the original Flex cab for a homegrown amp project. I built two Weber EL84 45 watt tube amps on the same chassis and put them inside the Flex cab. I built a 2nd matching cab. I run the stereo output of my PODx3 into the two amps. One runs the internal speaker and one runs the external cab. I'm still using the Flex stack for most gigs though. I tend to migrate away and come back and rediscover things about the Flex that were some of the reasons I originally bought it.

Very cool Dave!

Do you still have your old empty Flextone III carcase? I am looking to buy one to modify as an extension cabinet. I would love to purchase it from you. I have tried to find a Flextone III extension cabinet w/ (2) 12" speakers, but can't find one.

The positive lug/terminal on the speaker goes to the tip on the jack. The negative lug/terminal goes to the ring/sleeve on the jack.

Hmm, I painted black and yellow the wooden panel, then cut the plastic construction site panel and glued it to the amp...:D

Another little question, how the cab jack have to be soldered? tip + and ring - or the opposite?

It looks pretty cool. Is that a pic behind the expanded sheet metal?

Thanks for the thumbs up spaceatl. This is the 4th one I've built. I actually started it for another local musician but he changed his mind after I had already started the project. I had ordered black tolex but after he dropped out of the project I searched for something different. I found Yellow Cab amps in Canada and liked the color scheme. I'm also glad I tried the WGS speakers. They rock! I've gotten a lot of compliments from other musicians that have seen and heard it at different venues around town. Hows the SV? Still diggin' it as much as the Flex?
