Amp Asthetics - lets talk colours and cloths

samzadgan

So, i you could design the purely what colour your amp tolex would be and what grill cloth you would have, what would be your combination?

for argument sake, lets take this amp and cab as the basis for the colour choices...

Turquoise tolex with cream grille cloth.

Happy with the black and white amp but the grill cloth could be a nice Prince of Wales check.

I love a Fender Brownface and wheat...

The reverb unit looks ultra cool in these clothes...

I'm a fan of deep red with speckly grey grill, though tbh amps usually look good or don't, largely irrespective of what colour they are.

Bring on the Matchless shower curtain ......

Lime green tolex (think along the lines of Type O Negative with a touch of yellow) with very dark green (mint sauce-ish) faceplate and white lining. Text in creamy white with white knobs with some fancy but subtle graphics on the faceplate (think of the Stone Deaf FX pedals designed by Mcbess).

Cab same tolex as the head with black grill cloth.

I've always though the original Matchless DC30 Dark Burgundy with the gold sparkle fleck grill cloth is one of the classiest looks for an amp.

Tweed, Brownface or Blackface

Wazmeister

Burgundy or cream for me...

Babones

I like a nice blonde. Old Marshall Plexis too.

Blacksheep

Red tolex with the old Marshall large check grille

Gassage

THis is where it's at.

Close call between the Cornford Oxblood with metal grille or Bogner comet tolex with metal grille.

Call me boring but blackface Fender is pretty much the right answer. Everything else is a bit try hard.

^ Blackface Fenders are the most handsome looking amps ever made IMO.

samzadgan

My default is white tolex the black grill...but i think the way these cabs dont have a lip, it kinda kills the white...

Im leaning on that vintage fender cream...just not sure about the steel faceplate...the fenders have a black panel which works perfectly with that cream.

Ah, ok - maybe not.

another for ......black. It"s not furniture.
