weezerboy Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 i know that people have asked for simple amp schematics before but i want to replicate my squier 10watt practice amp (or siimilar) basically i want to build about 10 and make a wall of sound so i need the simplest schematics possible because i 'm a dunderhead with a soldering iron and i know how to use it.

weezerboy Posted August 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2003 ok..i've been surfing and found this, and this would these be suitable for a small guitar amp??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithHowell Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 Solid state is definitely simpler and less likely to kill you. With valves you have to mess about with DC of around 250 to 350 volts. Go to R.G.Keens site GEO and search for the Mini-Tubes project. It is a simple guitar pre-amplifier with printed circuit layout. All you then need is a power amp to drive the speakers. I recommend using one of the TDA series chips, they range from around 2 Watts to about 50 Watts. A power supply of 9 to 12v DC will power the whole thing. Also have a look at Elliot sound products for all sorts of audio based projects including a solid state simulation of the VOX AC30. Good Luck Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
