In the beginning, Clinton and I set out to build a cabinet as an addition to my setup. I was interested in adding a cabinet to use with several of my amps, as well as a “tag-along” to use with several trendy low-watt tube heads. Personally, experimentation has always yielded the best results and I mod. anything music related that I can get my hands on so it only seemed natural to step out of the vinyl covered plywood box (no pun intended) and try something unique. Okay….so I know this has been done before by damn near everybody under the sun, but I’m in love. What started out as a weekend project has spawned into a full on venture. http://www.murphycabs.com We’ve spent many late nights discussing, researching, and getting our hands dirty in the shop and we’ve created something that anyone would be proud to show off on stage, in the studio or in their bedroom.

To date, we’ve used everything from Cedar to Walnut to Cherry and the results are more appealing as each build is complete. http://www.murphycabs.com/gallery.htm

Clinton has added his expertise in the woodshop to help create a, not only unique in appearance, but a sound like nothing I’ve heard before. From the dovetailed joints to the inset handles, his attention to detail is everywhere and it shows.
These cabinets provide the mids that I’ve always sought and added depth and a crisp (but not obnoxious) high to my repertoire, and I couldn’t be more pleased. I hope that you’ll find them as entertaining as I have!

Starting with rough stock we cut each board to length and run them through our planner. After planning, the slats are glued together and left to cure (6-8 hours) in a controlled environment. Once dry, the pieces are planned again to uniform thickness and precision dovetailed to ensure the highest and tightest quality jointing possible. Once the joints have dried, any excess glue is sanded free. A completed grill assembly is installed and mounting hardware fixed to the inside of the cabinet. Next, a baffle is cut and speaker mounted and installed into the cabinet. Backs are then fixed and the entire piece is finely sanded. Using proven techniques, the entire work is finished in a controlled environment, free of dust and particulate. After finishing, handles are finished in a separate process, cab-feet, speaker jacks and wiring is installed. All products are tested and carefully prepared for shipping.

We’re slowly but surely stepping away from proper “grill cloth” It’s ugly and useless. We’ve been using designer material from a textiles merchant. To be honest, I’ll never go back to grill cloth. It adds a classy touch to the cabinets while still providing the functionality required.
