Guitar players have pedals, sewing machines have pedals. There must be something cool to make for playing guitar with a sewing machine. Sewing machine pedal goes slow to fast. Rotary speakers go slow and fast, and thus an idea was born. I don't know if this has ever been done before, like most things I... Continue Reading →
The custom head enclosure I made for my mystery tube amp turned out so good, I absolutely needed to build a matching speaker cabinet to go with it.
