That pick & place setup is off the hook.

@paintingglass It's called a "brad nailer". You can get them either electric or air powered.

@lighteningboy sorry i know this post is really old, but what did the drive channel sound like?

[paintingglass]

at the 4:17 using a kind of gun for building the cabinet , can someone tell me what that gun called?

If you like tube electric sound, Traynor is for you.

This is not a point to point wiring design.

Tubes get hot, and so does the socket.

mounting the tube on a PC board allows the heat to degrade components over time, and why point to point is better.

But this amp does more cheaper than was possible in the old days.

I have this amp, sounds spectacular. check my channel under the off the hook videos and you'll hear me playing it live. the master volume stayed at 2 for the entire gig, super loud!! Great amp!!

I had this amp with the extension speaker cabinet. I ended up selling it for a more expensive tube amp. I didn't like the gain channel, but the clean channel was stellar. If you like using distortion pedals, you will love this amp
