Bought amp, don't have clue!

Posted by Bluesheart on January 11, 2017 at 2:57pm in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion

I've looked back through my posts but can't find who sent me link to buy this amp board, so I have it , came w/o any instructions and two of the connections are only marked in Chinese. Any help on how to use this as  a CBG amp would be appreciated!

here is where it came from> http://www.ebay.com/itm/131832286247?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    Thanks for the nudge, I had one of these for a while and finally finished it.  Two small Dell computer speakers with guitar jack and aux port.  Sounds good, and (sadly) the speakers stay clean all the way to full volume - which is a fairly modest bedroom level - unless an effects pedal is used.

      Very nice,  what type of amplifier did you use?

        Thanks, the amp was just like the one at the top of this discussion.

          Did you use a preamp?

            It plays clean but pretty modest volume straight in, but with a pedal as a preamp you get both a boost in volume and the effect of the pedal.

      very nice! i cant seem to get wooden boxes in Brisbane, well not at a reasonable price.

        Can't get them here in Canada reliably either. I am just using pine boards glued and screwed with black drywall screws. Looks rustic yet finished at the same time.

    OK this is what I have decided to go with. I will build it into my amp enclosure. It is 12V DC so I can use the the same power supply. I should have it this weekend and I will post pics when I start the build

    Here is an interesting karioki preamp and reverb board in one.

      interesting find there David. certainly has potential. if i can decipher the chinglish i think this can run from 9 v or 12 v. seems to have a volume out and reverb controls and 2 x 1/4"inputs. if you can afford it it is worth a try at $10...closer to $15 AUD for me.

      a little research on the PT2399 delay/echo chip gives good reviews ...
