Where to get a Marshall small box head cab?

TheGoodTexan · May 16th, 2005, 11:54 AM

Found this on 18watt.com

I see some of Tim's stuff there...

But that little Marshall head in the middle, the one with the guitar sitting on it....

Where can I get a pre-fab cab like that? I don't see them at Mojo. Any other suggestions?

I just bought a Lightning cab from Trinity. They were fast, easy to work with and the workmanship and materials are gorgeous.

I'd recommend highly. They may be able to help you.

I'm not sure, but I think small box refers to a 50 watt Marshall mkII head where the one pictured is smaller still. Not trying to wiseguy you, just a heads up so you don't order one thats too big.

Yeah - that's exactly what I'm running into. I don't know the correct name for that "smallest box" head.

Trinity, Swanson, Reason can all handle that order. They all have banner ads at 18watt.

That's a 20w head. They also made a reverb unit in the same size cab.

So it's commonly refered to as a Marshall "20 watt head" cabinet? Any of those companies that David listed will (should) know exactly what size I'm talking about?

I bet any of them would know, especially if you sent the chassis dimentions or that pic.

If you want something nice try Harry Straub(straub amps, does a lot of custom woods).

There's a guy on HC who does lots of head cabs, name is crustycabs.

I just emailed Stephen Cohrs at www.trinityamps.com. His work looks top-notch, and the prices were outstanding. Actually, I couldn't believe how inexpensive it was.

Thanks folks...

This is for a Matchless Lightning clone I built.

3/4" Baltic Birch, Dovetail joints. Black Levant, with Salt and Pepper Grill.

Impeccable workmanship.
