I was thinking of enclosing the speaker to gain depth in the bass. Has anyone else done this? What was the result. I know someone will warn about the air flow needed to keep the tube and amp cool. I would leave room for the air flow freely to the amp section but enclose the speaker. I might as well add this warning: Do not obstruct ventilation grille and always ensure free movement of air around the amplifier! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I think that a closed external 2x12 cab is a far better solution - it will increase the sound quality in general. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

However, the 401 is a true tube amp and in the long run I think you'll find it superior in tone. Using the amp with a extension cabinet will give you the tone your looking for. But combos are great for practicing so you could go back and forth between a cab or the internal speaker. tommyboy You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
