This Line Amp delivers a beautifully balanced tone with rich harmonics, tight low end, and a smooth, musical top end. It takes pedals exceptionally well and excels in both clean and edge-of-breakup settings, making it perfect for studio work or refined live rigs.

About Line Amp #20:
I've mounted the finished chassis in a Padauk headshell. It's the brother of the LA-16 amp. It's stunning and photos don't really do it justice at all. It has my favorite NOS 6V6's as well as the Tungsram front end tubes. The sinewave stays perfectly clean all the way up until clipping in either channel. Immaculate. And the Line Amp harmonic generator makes a textbook harmonic series. I'm still using the Orange drop polypropylene capacitors and the 1 watt metal oxide resistors. Those resistors are very quiet and are nearly indestructible.

I made a short time lapse video showing the wiring process of LA-20 in a series of still photos. It's up on YouTube:
