- www.tuneyoursound.com has visited Matamp in the UK. Jeff Lewis himself builds a vintage Matamp cabinet and shows all the skills accumulated since the '60 in building high end music amplification devices
Thanks to all who like you are working so hard daily in order to get us to enjoy with music! Long life Jeff !
As a machinist, I've spent a lot of time working with old timers honing my skills. I learned more from those guys than any school could ever teach. This guy reminds me of a few of them.
So much work involved, craftmanship.
Very interesting, great to see a true craftsman at work... tho' have to agree, I would have prefered without the music...
Thanks fro sharing.
OP
..good job, Mr. Jeff !!!
Great 2 videos. Been wanting to build a 4x12 for a while now.
Watching this guy work sobered me up quick. It wouldn't hurt a few CEOs to see a guy like this put in eight hours at the bench.
How do you know that a CEO never came up through the ranks? General Motors new CEO not only came up through the ranks but is a women as well. I guess it never occurred to you that in general terms, people aspire to their potential. This guy might be great at this particular set of skills but my be a complete mess managing groups of workers along with planning and financial duties (as an assumption). Not everyone can do manual labor and not everyone can function in a corporate environment, but to assume one is better then the other is just fucking stupid. If you need to sober up quick jackass, get out of your cave every now and then. The world is changing all around you, that computer in front of you is driving that change. Eight hours at the bench, are you fucking kidding me?
Jj Jones What you are saying is the exception not the rule.
Those are very big assumptions sir plus something tells me that the man in the video is more then just a worker. No, it seems like your just a disgruntled worker. Just so you know, Meta makes great stuff but I don't think they are in business anymore. As far as no work in America, you obviously don't understand basic economics. China's output has slowed, the EU still has not recovered due to the pull down from Spain and Greece. America is the only industrialized nation to at least not have zero growth in their GDP.
***** Yup the response of a peasant mentality. The inability to truly understand the complexities of the world around him, forces the peasant to lash out in anger rather than try to understand the issue and offer an intelligent response. Dennis must live in Greece.
Jj Jones America is not a country. North America and South America is called continet. The USA is a country IN North America ;)
Oh Yes, it would of been nice to see the joinery part. MATAMPS!
Yes, it is the old way of building the handles of the box. You have a slot on the outside to put your hand trough to lift the box and inside you have this wooden cover to prevent the access to the speakers.
Awesome Job Jeff! \m/
please put up part 0, actually making the cab please.
It's a heat gun. It's used to help the tolex be more flexible and adhere to the cabinet better.
@beeroosterm The "open" design was addressed with that box at the 6:55 mark, just after the title screen for "Putting the Speakers In."
Well, there's always the option of muting the video and running Winamp in the background. That way people won't get into an argument about whether he should've used Dvořák, Paganini or Roxette.
Yes!
Very helpful video. I was wondering how the front baffle is mounted inside that particular cab. Thank you.
Yes all assembly work is done either with wood glue or wood screws.
02:58 precioussssss
Oh and i agree with what theodore said.
I like the video, but......My god what an annoying music at 3:12.
There's a frequency that was killing me there, i stopped the music to check my speaker. Killing me. I dunno why.
Awesome job! Do you have any tutorials on installing fender grill cloth on a baffle and also installing piping?Can't seem to find any help. Thx!
Agree, it would have been nice to listen to the actual recorded audio.
I always had heard you weren't supposed to screw the speakers in until you visibly see the frames bend...
anyone else notice the crushed speaker frames? id be pissed
No orange badge added to the front grill
Thanks ;) Does he just use wood screws to mount the speakers?
WHY he puts the speakers inside the baffle board suond change? thanks
what tool is being used when he puts the piping around the cabinet?
...hey me too !!!
what's the purpose of that block he screws in to the inside of the cab at 6:54? And what do you call that?
Jesse Cole looks like handle covers so stuff doesn’t get inside the cabinet.
If you hit the mute button, you can listen to whatever you want.
Did he screw those speakers straight in to the baffle???
Is this an orange knock off cab? If it is its damn good
What's the thing he's putting in there at 6.55? Just a block of wood?
Maarten Janssen i was wondering the same thing, did you find out?
@@fromthedeserts still wondering in 2020 lol
Great!
What is the background music?
The Music is from Thor and the song Transit.
This can be found in the free copyright library in youtube. Not additional information is available, sorry.
Master of fuckin tolex right here. Fuckin mr miyagi. Tolex on tolex off type shit
What's going on at 6:36?
He grooved the cab all around to stick inside the wire that you saw at 5:51. He did it twice actually and it's just to give it a better look. You can actually see it on at 8:58
Wow, $1000 and a long ass wait for a cab that has smashed speaker frames??? ever heard of a torque setting screw gun? I'd expect some shit like that from some of the other companies but seriously, this video shows how not to install your speaker., nice job on the grill cloth though....
and shit for speakers... wtf?
Does anyone know the exact name of that grill cloth that he uses at 2:19?
cane
Sway Diaz Thanks :)
SweetArion i am a custom cab builder, the cloth is known as basket weave and available in biscuit/natural, salt n pepper and black. cane is a totally different cloth.

Why did you skip the Piping installation??? That's one of the hardest things to do well in amp building. We clearly saw him cutting along the groove but we don't see him insert the piping... it's just magically there later... Such a master should not have his words of wisdom and instruction covered up, ESPECIALLY by the music you chose!...
does any one know what kind of tubing he using for the our side of the cab after the tolex is on?? looks like transparent speaker wire but i just wanna be sure.. anyone??
I am a custom cab builder, the tubing you refer to is known as string, it is plastic and available in various colours and diameters, see Matamp heads with white string, Vox and Marshall with gold.
so in looking for it i would just google "guitar cab string"?
you would find it through a supplier of cab components. in the USA, try Mojotone.
i am in Scotland, i ship mine from England and Germany. Matamp actually use a thin 2.5mm electrical cable as cab string. works great and good colour options.
yeah, track is way cheesy. would be great with commentary as mentioned
Very interesting. The music sucks. A good commentary would be better or even let Jeff speak!
IKR, the camera skills and the lack of lavalier mic made me not subscribe the channel, as a visual producer, this annoys me... let the expert talk and work in his own flow. Cameras distracted him so much he made some mistakes in the proper installation
They most likely used t-nuts.
The music is so loud on this video that I had to turn the volume off on my TV.
yea this video is kind of useless without his instructions.... plus I think the music sux.
great master building but can someone please remove this annoying excuse for music there must be a hell of a lot more classic music we can listen too how about the guy just speaking so we can hear what he is doing step by step just a thought
is he mad?
I think he's just havin fun at work ;)
Turn that DAMN music OFF and let the MAN TALK, I want to HEAR him not the music, my gosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
The music is so annoying
Geez,replacing a ripped grille is major surgery.I'm not a big fan of warped speaker frames either.I'll stick with Ampeg made in America.
Music gotta go
I would much rather hear the man building talk and explain what he is doing rather than listen this crappy synth music.
Jesus, this is the worst music I've ever heard.
