    Thank you for watching! If you want to see the behind the scenes of my projects go check out my Instagram: instagram.com/makewithmiles/
    Also I've been getting a lot of comments saying that I should gone with a tube amp or gotten nicer parts, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money on this project, and the amp I used for parts suited my needs before so that's why I used it. I use it quite frequently and it works great!

    I am impressed by the attention to detail you have presented in every aspect of this piece of work, from the kumiko grill, to the kerf bent corners to the turned knobs with contrasting veneer insert, to the screen printing on the control panel face-- not to mention the quality video editing. I wonder how many different workers would be needed in the factory that originally manufactured this amp to do the work you have done? Your skills are apparent, but I am truly amazed by the focus, persistence and patience you demonstrate in all of the projects that you have made for this channel. Most excellent guitar amp..

    You may want to put some metal foil contact glued on the inside top so that the metal box makes a contact when it's fitted. The foil and the metal amp chassis box will then create a shield for radio frequencies/interference. Alot of old tube amps used that to shield, an easy fit! Nice work.

      He has an exceptional skill set for someone anyone's age. No offence, but I read all these comments and people keep repeating that it is always exceptional for being so young, exceptional for "his age" but I doubt any of the people commenting like this come even close to having his variety of skills. Therefore, I personally find this sort of addition a bit patronizing. I would simply say, he is an exceptional man with exceptional skills and patience, period.
