metalnutt Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 hi everyone im new here i need some schematics for an amp that can fit in to about the size of a cigerette packet it only needs a volume control an input and output jack it also doesnt need a speaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbkim Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 Don't know of any schematics off-hand... but are you trying to make your own "Smokey Deluxe Mini Amp" ? It'll probably be a lot of fun building your own, but consider the price of these little things pre-built versus tracking down all the parts, etc. of doing it yourself .

metalnutt Posted September 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 i want a basic amp only about 30 watts but i want it to be small i have no particuler amp in mind though so any circuits would be great. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you build such a beast, I'd buy one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalnutt Posted September 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 hahahaha i take it my knowledge of amps isnt up to scratch then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbkim Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 Well, if you're no longer constrained to the cigarette packet size... just small, you might want to check out AX84 and Amptone ... there are probably LOTS more sites if you search around, these two are just a couple from my bookmarks.

cr_XD Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 you can have 30 watts inside a cigarrete box( but forget about fitting a power supply in, or batterie supply) with an ic like the tda's search the net for a tda2004 or alike hope it helps, the specification sheets have a sample diagram for each one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jehle Posted September 30, 2003 Report Share Posted September 30, 2003 I think Radio Shack (Tandy's) carrys a small IC that's a power amp. Should be just a matter of adding a battery and a few other bits and bobs to get it all together. You'll need an input jack, volume knob and either a resistor and phones output or a speaker at minimum. 30 watts is what the little plastic Fender and Marshall amps run, and their circuit boards are really dinky. Should be a fairly simple project with the right part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a fairly simple project with the right part. Which little plastic Fender and Marshall amps run 30 watts? I did a quick search and found the Marshall MS-2 and a Fender Mini Deluxe but they seem to offer only 1 watt (both seem to run off of a 9v battery.) Hmm... if one can really get a 30w amp in something as small as a cigarette packet, I really be interested in that too... probably get really hot, I'd imagine. Probably why the enclosures are so big even though the actual circuits can be so small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saber Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Does its power supply need to fit into the cigarette pack also? If so, forget it. The capacitors needed to filter the dc supply of a 30W amp would never fit into a cigarette pack. If it's battery powered, you'll need a pretty big battery.
