Hello!
Now that I have completed the G3 blues kit I would like to have a cabinet to fit it in. The design is kind of strange in this head, beacause it is supposed to be hanging with the tubes and the transformers upside down.
Are there any enclosures that can be bought for this kind of amp? Or what is the best way to build one?
Hi. I suppose the design is for a combo cabinet (speaker and amplifier in the same cabinet). The G3 is hanging in the top of the cabinet. I'm building a J5mk1 in a combo cabinet that I've made of plywood and pinewood.
wow, very nice cabinet! What tools are necessary to build one like that? I don't have much tools to work with wood..
Is the j5mk1 also hanging mounted with the tubes upside down? How will you fasten it to the wood? Only with 4 screws coming from the top of the cabinet?
Hi. I used saw, drill, glue, screws, something to measure with, some filler and sandpaper and some patience.
I've cheated with the corner, I just glued and screewed the together. The cabinett is covered with tolex. Do some googling and you will find information about cabinett and tolex.
I mounted a 12" Jensen speaker. The G3 have a smaller chassis, so you may choose 8" or 10 " speaker if want make a smaller cabinett.
The J5mk1 chassis is not predrilled, so I could choose to make holes for a top or combo. I've choosed combo and the chassis is mounted upside down, with the tubes down. I mounted some pieces of wood to support the chassis and use 4 screws from top.
I will mount the chassis into the cabinett this weekend. So I can post some pictures how the chassis is installed.
Good luck with your project.

The combo is completed and the amplifier is installed. I'm very pleased with sound.
Really nice build, congratulations!
If you record a video or some samples of the sound, please post them.
Bye!
Hi. For sound samples, please see http://www.madamp.biz/ and youtube and search for j5mk1. My playing skills are not suited for public:D Hope you got some ideas for your project.
