That amp looks nice and sound good too. Fine work. Liked the playing also.

Thanks David and John, and ya that's the second one I made as I just didn't like the way the first turned out. I'm definately much happier with this one.

Ya Hollow I spend a lot of time pluckin away on the porch so it's be nice for that. Plus my only other amp is a Roland 30 combo and while it's portable this is way way more more portable. If fact I'm looking forward being able to take an electric out and about with me instead being stuck acoustic.

OH Yeah thats sounding good.

Way cool-I love the idea of just sitting out on the porch jamming-like you say, the amps just perfect for that scenario.

Good job, man.   Really like the speaker cover.

Thanks all I did a quick thread on it here, but maybe I should of put more info in it.

Wes- Ya I'm new to wiring like this,tried a few different ways, and finally gave a good enough call and left it. I'm still really not sure how it should of been to make it right.

Bemuzic - its a 1/2watt. In all fairness the camera/mic is 6"from the amp. Other than where I started with everything turned down its loud enough to sing with on the porch. With everything turned up it comes close drowning out my catter walling but not quite.
