Types of Chassis

There are two general styles of chassis. A formed opened ended chassis found in the Marshall 18 Watt Combo as well as several other combos and a box type with welded in ends and out turned mounting flanges typical for many head type amplifiers.

I'm currently looking at producing a Fender-esque chassis - aluminum with a angled front - we'll see how the prototype goes!

Note the black plexi face panel. This is a P1 currently in process.
  Construction Details
Komboking chassis are fabricated from .080" aluminum sheet. This is generally sufficiently strong for all but the largest chassis and has the the added benefit of being easy to work with simple tools. I add all holes in my personal stuff with drill bills, a Uni-bit and a couple of hole saws.

My intention has been to provide un-drilled or punched chassis allowing the DIY-er the maximum level of flexibility and cost savings. Most everyone has a drill but not everyone has access to a shear and brake.

The box style has welded in ends that are ground smooth.

Why buy a custom chassis from the Komboking?

1. You could buy a Hammond or other "standard" chassis for about the same money - but here you can exactly what you want. Make your project unique. Budget Boutique!
2. I'm not in it for the money. This is a hobby - just a way to stay envolved with music. Since I'm closing in on 50 and it looks like I'm not going to be a rock'n'roll star (drats!) this is a way to stay close to the stuff I've loved all my life. Plus its fun!
3. Its easy! I take Paypal and accept all money orders.
