Jewelry Box Guitar Amp

I went to the craft store with my wife over the weekend and found this box (intended to make a jewelry box). I went home and put this amp together in a matter of hours (most of time was spent waiting for the varnish to dry). Ironically, I had all the rest of the parts on hand. It looks great and sounds pretty darn good. I used one of the amp kits from Cigar Box Junction.

Comment by A.D.EKER on September 28, 2021 at 8:55am: Nice Box Kale !

Comment by Poorness Studios on September 28, 2021 at 1:02am: Yes the certainly do. It's a fun little amp.

Comment by 3 String Blues on September 27, 2021 at 10:21pm: sweet tones, I love small speakers they sound so unique!

Comment by Poorness Studios on September 27, 2021 at 12:02pm: Thanks for checking it out. Unfortunately, it's not very loud Doug. I think it's just the tiny 3" speaker that's the cause of that.

Comment by Doug Thorsvik on September 27, 2021 at 11:45am: Cool looking little amp Kale! The box shape gives it a retro look; a find for sure. Can you get decent volume without adding in distortion?
