New 100W Guitar amp design

escopunk · 15th September 2010, 06:39 AM

I am trying out the Kicad software, a little tricky but I like the results, This is a work in progress, and I need to model the orange drops. This will take months to finish with the design tweaking before I ever have a PCB made.

Cheers

100W guitar amp, 3 channels, have the metal work design for rackmount or a head. This will take a while to get the bugs out of the ciruit before I will have the PCB made.

Hi escopunk- I too am using Kicad for guitar amp design at home. I see that you have discovered the 3-D feature. Kind of flashy! I keep endorsing kicad because its pretty full featured schematic capture, and PCB layout, and it's free! There is an example of a pre-amp board that I laid out in a tread called "one off guitar amp" in the musical insturments forum.
