Well, great sound would be pushing it for an amp of this type. It is a low power, low buck amp.

There was a Fender Super Champ XD in my area for $200. I probably will spend as much on parts for an amp that could do roughly the same thing. For some people it would be better buying something off the shelf and for others going another route.

 

Here I am playing a guitar that probably cost me $40 with a guitar sitting in the corner that was about $600. Shit happens.

Sure they all sound great.  This thread is more about how those without electronics experience can go to Radio Shack with a parts list and a noob solder set and make an amp.  Let's see some good how too's from the smart folk on how to do that in comic book fasion.

Why not build in an FM bug and use your stereo as an amp?  Or the radio in the car next to you, belting out "rap" through a kick bass?
