Just saw this over at Offset and figured it was worth posting here (original post is trimmed down about due to the abundance of smileys).

reference pics were mostly early silverface princeton reverb-amps (68-70)

I thought it was dumb until I got to the rear/gutshots.
Also note tube chart inside cabinet. Nice.

The lego insides is pure brilliance, he's even used lego man heads as cap's.

i think this is really lame.

dude could've played 20hrs of huge riffz but instead, made a non functional amp out of legos...

let me guess, you're the fag who built an amp out of lego's?

Reece · Post by **Reece** » Fri May 15, 2009 2:15 am

...no i'm reece.

just saying, there's lot of ways people could be spending their time, who are you to judge them for spending their time making stuff out of lego?

you could have been playing HUEG RIFFZ all the time you've been browsing shortscale but you haven't been.

rofl.

I think its pretty damn cool actually. legos are awesome.

i'm not judging the person, i'm judging their activity. this is a lame activity. in my opinion.

also, i don't spend time browsing shortscale if i'm in the same room as a guitar and amp. i shortscale while i'm at work. can't play huge riffs at work, but can play where you build things out of childish connecting blocks.

Reece · Post by **Reece** » Fri May 15, 2009 2:20 am

i browse shortscale a few feet from my guitar and amp normally, i play alot but not all the time.
do you play videgames, read, watch telly? this sort of activity would probably fill the same gap as one of those would for anyone else.

plus you called lego childish, i fucking love lego even now. nothing wrong with liking lego.

Amazing, I could never build something like this with lego block's. Kudos to the person who built this.

i don't do any of those things. i play my guitar, and work. in between i'm driving, or helping my girlfriend with her business. sorry i think it's really kiddy to play wif wil' weggos.

also, this would be a shitload cooler if it worked.

i feel truly sorry for anyone who cannot appreciate something mega made out of lego.

i saw a video somewhere of a turing machine made entirely out of lego, it was awesome.

hotrodperlmutter · Post by **hotrodperlmutter** » Fri May 15, 2009 2:27 am

IT DOESN'T FUCKING WORK. IT'S HARDLY 'MEGA.'

Reece · Post by **Reece** » Fri May 15, 2009 2:28 am

calm down, jesus christ.

sorry i think something is good.

I HATE THIS BECAUSE HOTRODPERMUTJEUTRY TOLD ME I CAN'T LIKE IT.

hotrodperlmutter · Post by **hotrodperlmutter** » Fri May 15, 2009 2:30 am

i didn't say you couldn't like it ass-hat, i said i thought it was lame, and you jumped into my shit. i feel sorry for people who feel sorry for people who don't appreciate silly fake amps made out of plastic that are non-fucking-functional.

Reece · Post by **Reece** » Fri May 15, 2009 2:35 am

righty-ho.

anyway, back on topic.

i've wanted to be good at building things out of lego for ages, you see contraptions combining lego for moving parts with some sort of programmable chip to create all different kinds of things.

Worked with one of those kit's in a class last year, it was the mindstorms programmable robots, you set them up to do random task's like pick up a pen and write, no joke. You can do that.
