Fruit Crate 1 Watt Amp (4)

Posted by Matthew Baxter on December 12, 2013 at 7:56pm
Found this fruit crate at a farmer's market a while back and turned it into a 1 Watt Guitar amp. Speaker and grill cloth were salvaged from a 70's Sony speaker cabinet I found at a thrift store. Circuit is based off a TDA7052 IC. The distortion is based off a 2N5457 transistor. Amp and distortion are powered by independent 9v batteries. Has a very clean sound compared to Ruby and Noisy Cricket amps I've made in the past.

    Yes sir, that is a great vibe coming off of that!

    I took some steel wool to the chassis and it's already starting to rust. Hopefully it will be full of rust soon and extra "dirty".

    That is one "Dirty" looking amp! Like the speaker cover material.
