lucifersam Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 ok i was at school today and one of the better guitarists that go there was playing his tele after school. he had a really small like practice/portable amp thing. ive seen these before and theyr pretty cheap, but i thought it would be cool to make one. anyone have any hints as to the best way of going about this?? thanks ~zak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannoG Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 I took one of the Fender mini amps, cut it up into individual components, built a small wood cabinet and put in a decent speaker. It's not real loud, but it sounds pretty good, runs of batteries or a transformer and is small. I've played guitar while sitting in the back seat on a long roadtrip. I liked it enough that I bought another one to try some subtle changes, haven't gotten around to it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ansil Posted March 6, 2004 Report Share Posted March 6, 2004 i know what you are saying hter DannoG i got one of those mini fenders and the marshall ms2 i took the ms-2 guts out and rewired them with a 2.5watt chip. so it kicks pretty good. thos little minamps are a good investment. but then agin you can make a nice clean amp with a single transistor and a single chip. that will push out around 3-5 watts. all with about 5 resistors and 4 caps.. probally less i dont' have the schematic on me right this second but ifanyone wants to email me i can send it to them. i am running out of space on my website. hmm maybe a tutorial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
