Amplifiers

Beginner

Project Time:
1-8 Hours

Project Cost:
Under $100

Project Description:
Saw the practice amp kit in a sale flyer, didn’t really have a use in mind but thought it too cute to pass up.

Design Goals:
Part of a vintage suitcase set of my (grand?)parents which not really of any service these days. Just screaming for a “reuse” project.

Driver Selection:
Speaker came with kit.

Enclosure Design:
Mendel, Cincinnati USA nice classic luggage , tweed over pine, stitched leather trim.

Enclosure Assembly:
easy lay out & assembly, case just the right size. Assume this little amp should be open baffle but opening case seems to suffice.

Crossover Design:
NA

Tips & Tricks:
DO NOT MISTAKE 9V 3.5 mm plugs for input jack (upper far right). I fried a tablet.

Conclusion:
still looking for useful application… a pickup for the accusstic guitar I can’t play will cost quite a bit more than this amp!

About the Designer:
Too much time on my hands.
