Cigar box amp My first ever build it yourself electronics project. (well, I once made a torch with a battery, a bulb and a spoon ;) Yeah so... I really wanted to build a ghetto guitar amp. This one is modelled on the '$5 cracker box amp' but i paid much more for the parts because I bought enough to build a few... bah... besides the point. The point is I made something that works. It was not easy either... the diagrams I had showed it built on a 'prototyping board' and I could only find simple breadboards so I had to do a good amount of thinking in the shed. Thinking is fun. Dropping the soldering iron and stupidly trying to catch it in the other hand is the real pain. I have never really done much soldering before either, so there is a big lesson. All in all... a triumph for the good. Note, although it is a guitar amp, i hope to never have to use it as one. For me it is 100% ukulele all the way now. The gap in my playing there is to allow me to dial from 'clean' to 'distorted' on one of the rotary's. Apologies for the playing... I only began testing the amp 30 seconds before, and grabbed the cam real quick. I don't need neg comments for this vid ;) Now all i need is to saw the board to a shorter length, cut a switch into the power wire and house the amp in a box. It was going in the cigar box it is resting in, but i reckon i could get four in there. What a waste. Any ideas what I can put it in? Something the size of a 'Variety size' individual cereal box but stronger i reckon. |
