Ibanez IBZ1G combo converted to a head
This mini head looks so cute! I took my time to make it look nice. I
carefully peeled off the tolex before any sawing. I used glue and
staples to put the cabinet back together and there was enough intact
tolex to cover the thing neatly.
I wasn´t quite happy with the sound of this amp. There was too much
high treble. After some experimentation I soldered a 2n2 capacitor at
the volume pot, between wiper and ground. That seemed to help. Finally
I replaced all knobs with smaller ones for
easier operation.
This is a temporary setup
until I can build a proper cabinet. That thing is a low-fi speaker from
some small stereo system after a quick facelift. It isn´t as bad as you
might think. I tried first a real hifi speaker but there was just too
much bass and treble. This small box with it´s more limited bandwidth
sounds better when playing with a cd track. I am using a cab simulation
effect and a guitar amp with a tonestack eq is not ideal for this
purpose.
Anyways, I will update this page later ...
