Sounds great! Daran has got a great style, I dig it!

One question...
Series FX loop for each channel
Where you hiding them?

They will be on the back panel. The pictures that were taken at the time do not show this feature as I had not added it yet. Once I get the amp built with the FX loop etc. I might do another photo shoot.

sounds good. It's a shame that on all those vids he never maxes the gain and treble to really fire it up. That's what I would like to hear.

Yeah I agree. I wish we had done that. You know, clean, slightly dirty, maxed. That would have been great. I'll do that on the next videos. Just know that when you do max it out, it gets nuts. Real nuts.
