Knievel, as always you are the man! I have to agree with the Steel Dragon comment though... How about an old school velvet black light Iron Maiden poster! Can't get anymore 80's old skool than that!

Oh my street cred went out the window LONG ago..I've been domesticated for some time now.

Actually the Steel Dragon poster couldn't be more appropriate alongside this cabinet.
When people step up to the thing they are just rock posers looking to 'Live The Life'.

Ah.....symbolic!

Nice excuse

Seriously though Knievel...the cab is very cool.

What did you use for the Marshall logo? Is that from an actual amp or did you make that yourself?

Knievel · « **Reply #83 on:** November 03, 2007, 11:15:02 am »

It's a new real Marshall logo.
Got it from that online store I linked to..saw them on eBay as well.

that is genius sir.
im hoping it goes all the way up to 11

My first thought when I saw it was that it HAD to go to 12.

Sort of...I guess. $:-\$

Happy to report that the GH cabinet has gotten quite a workout this holiday season!

Big NY's bash here tomorrow night and it will be the center of attention. Although I have a feeling it will see more Rock Band songs than GH songs...the ladies love that Jovi tune.

I'm stunned at the amount of attention this cabinet has gotten. I've had so many e-mail from people who saw it on various webpages/blogs all over the net!

Even had some people telling me it was just a fake Photoshop job! Guess this cabinet was just a little too polished for them.

That's awesome man! Again, another fine creation!

This cabinet is amazing! Nice work!

Mind if I steal the idea and build one for my wife? She is a Guitar Hero addict!

CheffoJeffo · « **Reply #91 on:** December 31, 2007, 11:29:23 am »

During one of my mornings off work over the holidays and while the wife/kids were still sleeping, I managed to catch "The Ramones - Raw" on IFC ... damned if I didn't smile wide and think of this cab when I saw the Marshall stacks on stage.

gotta admit, the thought went through my head when it saw the first picture of this baby. Almost too perfect! awesome job!

Oh HELL yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

MinerAl · « **Reply #94 on:** February 04, 2008, 03:28:35 pm »

That's going to be ridiculously expensive, isn't it?

Super cool though.

The PS2 versions of GH don't have Thunderhorse. No dice.

Yes it does. It's a bonus song in GH2.

Come on Knievel! I've seen what you can do with your woodworking skills. Why not make your own custom guitar hero controller modeled after your own favorite guitar. I know you can do it! Just borrow one from someone, and copy it. Go to the guitar shop where you bought your marshall parts and get some tuning pegs, a bridge, some frets and some cheap pickups. Get the graphics from the bst board and give it a wicked cherry finish like one of your machines. It wouldn't cost that much more then a custom controller.

I've watched your work and I love it! Keep up inovating and pushing the bar. I like looking back at some of your machines and I think "hmmm that just looks like all the others". No it doesn't look like all the others, you just took what was being done and upped the anty, then others followed in your wake. Time for new work, and time to push it further. Cheers!!!

So friggin cool. Love your ideas. Might even steal a few ideas for a cab I'm planning on building soon. So many great ideas and masterfully pulled off. Inspirational. Thx Knievel!

Knievel · « **Reply #98 on:** October 08, 2008, 09:59:24 pm »

Steal away.

Although this wasn't really an arcade machine I think it's still my favorite build.

Probably my most original idea, and people always go nuts the first time they see it.

loadman · « **Reply #99 on:** October 15, 2008, 07:26:18 am »

Nice stuff

Cakemeister · « **Reply #100 on:** October 15, 2008, 12:42:02 pm »

Is the cab big enough inside to put your instruments in there for storage? I find that having all the instruments around causes a big mess, especially since they are all wired.

Knievel · « **Reply #101 on:** October 15, 2008, 05:18:07 pm »

No, not tall enough inside for the guitars. I prefer to show them off anyway.

Actually I had bought a couple of black rubber-coated hangers to hold the guitars. The U-shaped ones with a screw on the opposite end.

They'd work well but I didn't have the heart to screw anything to the sides of the cabinet.

I might even go as far as saying the most original Idea I have ever seen for a cabinet. Truly talented you are.
