What do the 2.5W CBGITTY amp modules sound like?

Posted by Fergus Lester on July 11, 2018 at 6:02pm in Performances, How to Play, Lessons, Concerts

Ive made amps using other modules but what do the CBGITTY ones sound like especially when overdriven? A lot of solid state amps do not distort nicely. I have several tins and boxes crying out to be made into amp enclosures  and have not yet tried the above

    Depends on what speakers you have.

    I installed the Gitty 2.5 watt Artec amp circuit board with pre-wired leads into a cigar box to make an amp head.  It sounds very good through my custom speaker cabinet with a Eminence Ragin Cagin 10" speaker.  It's powered by a 8 volt LIPO battery and the tone is best with the amp adjusted to full volume.  I control the overall volume with the guitar volume adjustment.  It's plenty loud for inside a home.306709026?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024

    objectively I'd say they sound like a 9v transistor radio (similar electronics and speaker)

    subjectively  I like the sound in clean and overdrive.

    Didn’t Shane demo one in a video?

    Suggestion, go to the board where they build amps, and you will probably get answers.
