  This is why it bums me out that this is only a metal channel.<br><br>NOBODY else puts this kind of effort into testing and experimentation.<br><br>Nobody else is so beginner friendly and thorough.

  I keep losing myself in the song and forget to listen to the cab changes.

  Glenn, I&apos;ve been designing and building hifi and monitor cabinets for years (as I design the speakers) and bracing makes a massive difference. The best way to measure the cabs for resonance is a cheap contact accelerometer like the ACH1 you can get from Digikey or Mouser in the US.

  So basically, if I want to make a cabinet and I&apos;m wondering what material to use for it, the answer is &quot;yes&quot;. I mean, particle board wasn&apos;t quite as good, but I liked it too.

  You’re doing a great service for all guitar players and guitar recording engineers out there, even in non-metal genres. These series of videos are outstanding. 👍🏽

  I liked that particle board howl. I&apos;ve joked about building a pedal that emulates the Windsor hum, but honestly I think you beat me to it AND improved it.

  I love the real, no BS testing that you do. The fact that opinions, myths, and “musician dogma” mean nothing to you if they get in the way of getting the right sound for the job has earned my respect. Add in the fact that you break everything down in an open, honest, and transparent way and then you give out that information freely when you could just keep it for yourself shows not just how much class you have, but your love for the music itself. Thank you so much for what you do for all of us.<br>Oh, and as a bassist myself (Please don’t hold that against me. I know how to change my strings AND tune my instrument!) that bass tone was just amazing!!! Please PLEASE tell us how you got it!<br><br>Much love and respect to you for everything you do to pass on your knowledge!

  I&apos;m planning on building my own cab. 412. And I gotto say, these videos are very helpful. They inspired me to go forward with this project.<br>I live in Jordan, and shipping a cab would cost thousands of dollars, shipping the speakers them selves is way cheaper. So DIY it is. <br>Thanks Glenn

  It&apos;s really interesting how the Plywood and MDF sounded similar ! &nbsp;<br>Thanks for the energy and the work put in these videos Glenn. This is gold for us

  Can we give a shoutout to the musicians too? Like damn, they look like they&apos;re having a badass time while also playing like badasses.
