I do some simple recording at home and thought I might build a guitar amp isolation cabinet. I was wondering if anyone has made one and could provide me with a little advice about how to best go about it. My amp is a Fender Princeton from 1970, so it's not big. I've read about the importance of breaking up standing waves with an irregular construction method, but what would be a good material to line the cabinet with? What would be a good wood? Should I caulk the pieces together? Frankly, any advice would be a good starting point for me. I am in Saint Louis, Missouri- it seems important that I put that down. I only just discovered the site- it looks like a good place to browse about. Thanks, good to meet all of you...
Thanks for the links and the advice- the one with removable panels is the one I'll best try to emulate, so it can be either complete or semi-open. That would allow for various micing techniques. I'll let you know how it goes.
