Soundproof amp room !!

here's a photo of my new " soundproof " amp / recording room.
I've added double glass over my existing windows and thick doors with rubber sealing.
the wooden floor will be done on monday - it's gonna look real nice!.
the room is an extension of my home studio where I record my own stuff on weekends.
i can now finally crank my amps up and record whenever I please without disturbing anyone in the house or any neighbors.

BTW - amps shown are
Marshall JTM 30
gibson GA-15RV
alessandro English - Vox BNX 212 Celestion Blue cab
Marshall Slash Cab - Mesa Quad Pre amp and Stereo Simul-Class 295 PWR amp
Marshall Slash 2555 head + Marshall 4x12 cab with Celestion 25 watt greenbacks
alessandro Bluetick
two separate 1x12 cabs - celestion blues

Lots more amps in the garage ! - couple of fenders and several boogies
MK IIc ,
MK III Simul Class,
MK IV simul Class,
Fender Bassman RI

etc...
couple of others I forget.

anyway now i have more reasons to wake up each morning - especially on saturdays !!!!

 

4m x 3.5m - outlay would be difficult to say cause I live in south africa and it would be meaningless for me to tell you what I spent

what i can tell you is that there is nothing better than being able to turn your amp to 10 in the middle of the night and wail away till the early hours etc.....

 

I got a builder to do it for me so I cant give details but what i can tell you is than is basically normal brick etc.. then there is a an aluminium frame lattice covering all the walls about 15cm thick - it's fillid in with aerolite insulation - packed real tight - then covered with Rhino board 9 chalk filled cardboard - about 1cm thick.
finally it's cover with thick carpet blocks.
it's not too dead in the actual room - just perfect - it's joined to my recording studio at my house - it's basically a large vocal booth that also serves as a perfect guitar room - heaven at home

the windows are double glass with a gap in between - all air gaps in the windows are filled in with clear silicon - this is really important as sound escapes through any little ait holes - just closing a window doesnt really work
but remember silicon in the window cracks means the windows stay closed - I'll install a small aircon unit sometime in the future but for now it's working out great
the doors are all double doors made from solid wood with rubber sealing and a small lip along the bottom to keep it soundproof - it works like a dream.
i'll post more pics as soon as the wooden flooring is done next week

 

you're right - i got that mesa setup in the late 80's - to me it's still the the ultimate boogie tone - it captures all the boogie tones in one box - but i just never use it anymore -
my taste in tone has changed completely.
I'm using the Alessandro English 99% of the time and occasionally the Marshall 2555 .
I'm considering a red iron T-rex for later this year
