Members dan-o-guitar Posted March 31, 2006 Members Share Posted March 31, 2006 About 30 bucks in parts and a PCB from General Guitar Gadgets . Took two evenings to put it together. Decent little practice amp, gets dirty if you want it, and it'll power a 2x12 cab nicely. Anyone else build one of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure solid-state opamp goodness, no tubes. Here's a gut shot:Sounds pretty nice, not a lot of clean headroom on the 9v battery, but if you plug in a 12v wall wart it gives more clean room before it starts to overdrive. Completely maxxed out on both controls yields a nice crunchy overdrive.I'm going to try driving it with a few pedals tonight.

I mean, not on the playing, but the sound of the amp.... Playing sounds just fine to me. Amp sounds great, especially for 30 bucks! Nice! I wonder what it would sound like in front of an amp as an overdrive? I would certainly buy one for 30 bucks, even 50. Hell you could make a bunch of them and charge 100 bucks and I bet people would buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
