i want to build a guitar amplifier - Page 3

Thegreyman · 18th November 2009, 08:57 PM

I want to do the same thing, but want to try to do it on the cheap. I want a 12v portable one, so need a rechargable battery in there. I looked at the AMP6 kit, but found a pre built amp using the same chip that is cheaper.

I agree totally with you about starting learning building a tube amp. These are my beliefs too.

hi guys, i'm also absolutely new to building a guitar amp but i want to build one now to accompany my new electric guitar.

i have a few chips lying around.. OPA2132 and LM3886 included. would this be good for a preamp and poweramp respectively? It'd be good to be able to make an amp out of the stuff i already have.

also, what kind of speakers can I use? and is a cabinet necessary? I've only built headphone amps so far :S

Hey there. I have been recently very into diy guitar stuff and have been wanting to build a guitar amp as well. Since I am only in high school and have a limited budget, what kind, if any, do you recommend? I have no prior electrical knowledge and a very limited knowledge of schematics. please help me

Post here - in order of importance, what features are most important.
Can you come up with some money over time, like buying bits and pieces?
Who are your favorite artists?
