    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

    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.

    You make that guitar and amp sound like they should, Bob. Vintage tone, nice touch, great playing. I enjoyed listening...
    Ah, nothing relieves the discomfort of GAS pains like the sound of the UPS truck rumbling down your street. It's like the musician's Beano.

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

    I noticed you are friends with 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.

    Awesome review, now to get someone to build me the amp...

    But really really nice playing, i was glued to the youtube.
