Dumby (like me) amp build

Posted by Michael Prout on August 16, 2011 at 4:19pm in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion

I am not an electronics geek.  I have been in search of a dumbed down version of an amp build.  After many clicks on google search I found this.  I think even I can figure it out from this link with lots of pictures.

    Why not build in an FM bug and use your stereo as an amp?  Or the radio in the car next to you, belting out "rap" through a kick bass?

    Sure they all sound great.  This thread is more about how those without electronics experience can go to Radio Shack with a parts list and a noob solder set and make an amp.  Let's see some good how too's from the smart folk on how to do that in comic book fasion.

    Will we have to search for your page or is there some trick to find it that I do not know about yet?

    There was a Fender Super Champ XD in my area for $200. I probably will spend as much on parts for an amp that could do roughly the same thing. For some people it would be better buying something off the shelf and for others going another route.

     

    Here I am playing a guitar that probably cost me $40 with a guitar sitting in the corner that was about $600. Shit happens.

    Yes , I agree thanks for your input. you live you learn, just trying to save someotherdumass my grief and money wasted. OG

    I  would advise anyone thinking of building a low watt amp to buy a roland micro cube first. just MHO     OG

    Well, great sound would be pushing it for an amp of this type. It is a low power, low buck amp.
  • Michael Prout August 20, 2011 at 5:05pm
    So what you are saying is that if you buy a kit that says it has "great sound" but don't wire enough juice to it then you won't get that "great sound".  That would make sence.
