AWESOME!!!

Great demo of the amph, great playing. Thank you for posting that, I was really digging the sounds you get from that combo!:thumbsup

Arby seemed to dig it, too. (Hope I spelled his name right.)

Thanks Oldguy. My recording skills are not so great, but I'm trying to learn. In listening back to that clip I really don't come close to capturing what that amp sounds like at the higher volume settings. As I'm still learning the amp, I was also pretty far off when I tried to show how you can turn it all down and still get a higher gain kind of sound for late night practice. It can be adjusted to sound much better than the way it sounded in the clip.

What a treat! Nice guitar, nice chops and the amp is very versatile, it does everything very well. Congrats!.
I don't remember at the moment what speaker/speakers you are using, what would that be?

Again Congrats:thumbsup

I would have to say you've got a keeper in that one. If it can sound better than on that vid, it's sweeeeeet. And it should last you forever. Knowing you built it is a bonus. Congrats!

What can I add to what's already been said? That is a very nice amp, full of sweet tonal range. You weren't kidding about the lush tremolo! That sound takes me back to why I love guitars.

As usual, your playing brought out the best in the Kirn and amp.

Beautiful sounding amp there, Bob! Classic tones. A nice guitar and a skilled player don't hurt none, neither! ENJOY IT!! :rockya

You make that guitar and amp sound like they should, Bob. Vintage tone, nice touch, great playing. I enjoyed listening...:thumbsup

I revisited the video on Youtube itself, and it sounds even better the second time!

I noticed you are friends with Noitpure (http://www.youtube.com/user/Noitpure). That would be cool to have her here at The Fret. She plays really well in her videos and has an incredible gear collection that would cause intense GAS!

I invited her some time back, and whether she comes over here or not, I'd encourage anyone to listen/watch some of her videos. She is a great picker, and has some awesome equipment.
