Demo of my first amp build. Did everything from wiring the noisy cricket circuit board to making the grill.

Comment by Roadkill a.k.a. John Maw on March 19, 2012 at 6:35am That amp looks nice and sound good too. Fine work. Liked the playing also.
Comment by Ross Porter on March 18, 2012 at 6:38pm Thanks David and John, and ya that's the second one I made as I just didn't like the way the first turned out. I'm definately much happier with this one.
Ya Hollow I spend a lot of time pluckin away on the porch so it's be nice for that. Plus my only other amp is a Roland 30 combo and while it's portable this is way way more more portable. If fact I'm looking forward being able to take an electric out and about with me instead being stuck acoustic.
Comment by South Paw,Davey on March 18, 2012 at 12:20pm OH Yeah thats sounding good.
Comment by HOLLOWBELLY on March 18, 2012 at 12:15pm Way cool-I love the idea of just sitting out on the porch jamming-like you say, the amps just perfect for that scenario.
Comment by Uncle John on March 18, 2012 at 10:52am Good job, man. Really like the speaker cover.
Comment by Ross Porter on March 18, 2012 at 10:19am Thanks all I did a quick thread on it here, but maybe I should of put more info in it.
Wes- Ya I'm new to wiring like this,tried a few different ways, and finally gave a good enough call and left it. I'm still really not sure how it should of been to make it right.
Bemuzic - its a 1/2watt. In all fairness the camera/mic is 6"from the amp. Other than where I started with everything turned down its loud enough to sing with on the porch. With everything turned up it comes close drowning out my catter walling but not quite.

Comment by Jason Mills on March 18, 2012 at 8:04am I like that speaker cover!! nice little amp!!
