Hey guys ,I thought I would show off my sIII cab that I built to replace the white cab I sold to Taz .I went a little different on the front face, as you can see. I finished up the Brown mods a while back and so far am really pleased with the results.I don't play that heavy VH style ,nor do I have a guitar that has super hot pickups it ,although my Esquire with a Duncan quarter pounder bridge make things nice and chunky.I am definitely using less pedal distortion now with the gain mods done.I have not gigged or cranked it up at our rehearsal space, so I am still unsure how it is going to be at concertish volumes ,but I like it so far. There is a Greenback in the amp for now that I got from a friend's AC 30,which I am sure will stay.Thanks for helping out with the schematics and everything!!!

Thanks! I wanted it to be a little bit different, but reminiscent of other amps at the same time. It isn't easy to come up with new stuff...

Try a white/chrome script Signature on the top.
Use your computer and do your signature print it cut it out and see if it is close to what you want. After you find what you want, get it cut in metal or plastic in white and attach it.
Or as I did long ago, I would find a car symbol or name that I thought would work. Then I would either order from the dealer parts department or go to the wrecker and find what I want. My favorite that I did was to cut a eight ball in half and inlayed in the front panel on either side with a chrome Rebel from an old AMC in between. I remember using the Javilin and 'cuda the same way. There are many things made for the automotive field that can be used. I've used bondo and paint to make unique logos. Go through a car parts catalogue, the only limit is your imagination.

Yeah, I thought about a car logo, I work on classic cars for a living so I see lots of badges and stuff,I just wonder if it should be a Trinity log or my own considering I just built the kit, it is mostly Stephen's work on the guts...

Work a Trinity theme into your own logo. line with 2 shadow lines about how you would see a light in a triple pane window (being from Van, you may never have seen a triple pane window). do everything in threes.
Could make for a nice 3D type look.

I am having a similar problem, working in both Trinity and Cascade as in a cascade connection and like yours it will have a purple background.

Very nice job on the cabinet. Logo's are hard to create but if you do a personal one, you can get several made and then put them on all your kits. Appreciate the comment about the "guts", but you made it!!
