Build an effect pedal but wire it to a On/Off state switch and mount it internally with the switch on the out site

Not as a pedal as an effect on the amp, so it adds features

a vu meter would be cool,a clear case would be very cool,sound reactive cold cathodes,clear case WITH sound reactive cold cathodes would be sexual (copyright ryan0 2008-infinity),I actually have the exact same amp that i havent used in years since i bought my peavey so i might mod my one too,you could internalise a preamp or a multifx pedal (zoom are the best multifx,or line6),replace the speakers with some clarions or vox's,spray it up with a cool ass paint job,wrap it in red or orange leather the list goes on

have you ever played those arcade DDr machines with the clear speakers? well just incase you haven't they light up around the speaker when it produces sound... sound reactive Leds not sure if its possible with an amp but i thought of that when i looke at your pic of it... hope you have a good time post some pics when your finished!  :cool: :tup:

Lol its a awesome little marshall, but I have a bigger and better one... so this ones gona go under the soldering iron :P yea. So far Im thinking I will Put just a single window in the wooden plank at the back to create a dissfused glow from a sound reactive cathode inside. Then i was thnking of something like banana said and putting el wire around the speaker (Im pretty sure this will show through the material. Next Im gona add speaker ports to the side so I can put some beefy ones on it. And Thats all Im gona do for step one :tup:. But this project is gona have to wait till I can afford the stuff. Im down on cash and have some school gear i need to buy so im gona be out of action for a while. Nothing special.
