:D The essence of that video, if you subscribe to his findings, is that you can fart around with any scrap materials and still build a functional, good sounding cab. Might not be good looking, but it is well known that guitarists only ever pay attention to sound.

I bet if he made the cab out of glass or sheet metal he'd find some differences. Still some interesting findings though.

Did you hear any good ones?
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
