Thanks for your appreciation. I also liked the acrylic one, but my partner, insisted on marketing the aluminum body amp. He probably saw a bigger potential in it.;-)Initial testing showed also that aluminum body amp sounds somewhat better than acrylic amp (uing same parts, the only exception being the pots). So the tubing must be doing something good to the amp's structure. I'm currently working on a custom order, which is a gainclone made out of maple and in a cube shape.So your taste is quite good. Will see how it turns out. If it will look good and sound well, it might be my next project, but don't tell me I'm copying your idea.
But the truly good GainClone amp will be a pair of monoblocks as this takes away the variable of PS cords (which affect the sound in a big way) as well potentiomemters will be out, blaming a preamp stage for their defficiency. I've built the prototype and it appears to be better than AMP-1.
