A quality 9 volt battery will last about 4-5 hours if using continuously, and fully cranked. I always keep a couple spares taped inside the amp just in case. But don't forget, the MAH5 has a wall wart input too...so having an adapter too is a good idea.

I've no idea Harley. I don't use it all that often.

@cigarbox triplestring . How long does 9 volt last on your mah5?

@Petey twofinger: Battery power supply.

Finally located the problem which was the battery terminal connection. Once the terminals were squeezed with pliers to give a more secure grip to the battery, everything was fine.

Quite an impressive amp to say the least!

I got together on Monday with a couple of friends of mine to give them some Stella Amps I built. My friend Ian is on the bass, Dave is on the guitar, and I'm on the harmonica. Check it out:

@Cigarbox Triplestrings what is the power supply you are using , batterys or an adapter ?

@brianQ in the video i mention i did go down the NTE road when i first started up . i found them to be " worng" for the circuits i tried them in ... i am hoping they will eventually find a home , but ... it may be the dumpster

I've used a few of the MAH5 harnesses, and never had a hum noise problem. I've also used their 2 watt circuit, and have made a few of my own 1/2 watt circuits

Has anyone built a cigar box amp using the MAH5 circuit board?

I've just finished my second build using the MAH5 board, and I find that from the "Blues" setting through to the "Heavy metal" setting, I get quite bad interference/hum etc if I turn the volume up above 3rd.

Is this normal or not?

I bought my speakers (4" 8ohm 5watt) seperately, and just wondring if they might be the problem.

Cheers

i built a Ge fuzz pedal and was really pleased with the supplier / final product thanks to finally obtaining proper transistors .
