2nd Home Made Cigar Box Amp - Sound Test

Made this one as a swap for a guitar....love the amp module from guitar fuel so much I'm going to get another one for myself!
Sorry I'm in the dark, but it's about the amp after all...and thinking about it, that's probably the best lighting for me for a Monday morning!!
I'm playing a 3 string CBG made by Fuzzy Whitener. Check out his YouTube page http://www.youtube.com/user/FuzzysCBG he makes great guitars and is always selling them on eBay : -)
It's tuned C,G,C

I think that was me Greg that told you that, it worked on three builds I have done with record players. None of them were Crosely's but for the most part they're all the same.  Basically with any hack you need to figure out the source of the sound and interupt it with your new source. I will say that about the time I think I have it all figured out I will get a hack that will throw me a curve, then it's back to square one. :-(

So 1 gentleman had said to snip the leads to the records needle that's all I have to do to hack a crosley portable record player?

sorry I haven't tried the velleman..

Comment by gregory on March 1, 2013 at 1:32pm
But can the velleman 3 watt be used as a guitar amp?
Comment by Scott aka Farmer Ted on March 1, 2013 at 12:30pm

especially the 5 watt with 3 settings, makes for a wide variety of sounds.

Comment by Scott aka Farmer Ted on March 1, 2013 at 12:29pm

Cool stuff, I have used both the 2 watt and 5 watt GF circuits...not Velleman. I like GF ones very much/

Comment by gregory on March 1, 2013 at 12:21pm
Has anyone used a 3 wat or a7 wat Velleman amp kit?
