low waltage guitar power amp

kin0 · 7th November 2010, 08:15 PM

Hay, I am looking for a power amp to match with the shred master as a distortion channel at the preamp and another clean preamp. I want about 15watt to 25watt amp and to want it to use about 12valt. This is my first amp but I built a couple of stomp boxes before.

If any one have Ideas for projects (better not a kit) that sounds pretty good.

Building a transistor amp around 15w I would go on Ebay and pick up one of these

15W + 15W Audio Amplifier Board TDA2030 12V AC on eBay.ca (item 200533219401 end time 18-Nov-10 05:24:37 EST)

and then build one of these preamps to feed it. I am partial to the Professor Tweed or the Eighteen. Or if you want look at the solid state amp section here and pick out a chip amp.

I already have a preamp (Shredmaster dist channel and tone mender clean channel) so I need only the power amp (without any controlls except master volume). Also if any one can give me idea how to do the switching between the channels it would be good (if it can be both on a foot switch and on a regular switch it would be perfect). I'll use a 12 volt power supply to power them all.

Ive got one of those amplifiers, and you dont get very much output on 12 volts - about 3 or 4 watts per channel.
If you want 15 watts output, then look at one of the Class D amplifiers by Arjen Helder < MKll Tripath TA2024 Amplifier Board 2x15watt tested on eBay (end time 12-Nov-10 15:51:37 GMT) or Sure < 2*15W @4? Tripath TA2024 D-class Audio Amplifier Board on eBay (end time 10-Nov-10 08:54:06 GMT) > .
These will give you 15 watts from 12 volts.
