Does anyone here know much about guitar amps? I am working on building one and need some help on equipment like speakers and heads.
Sofar I have the speaker cabinents being made out of birch each 3ft x 3ft and should house 4 12" speakers. There will be 2 cabinets on the stack.
But what speakers and head equipment should I use to get an acdc overdriven sound.

So, I take it you're done with your bassman by now.
How'd it work out for you?
What speaker selection did you end up going with?
Am I being too nosey about your amp? :D
