I am really shocked that no one has hacked one of those new cardboard amps that they are selling with the cardboard guitars.....those amps are about 15 bucks a pop.....they would make a cool cigar box amp I am betting, even the guitar's have a speaker in them....I am sure someone could come up with something on those....I have a small cigar box my brother gave me, it is so tempting to get one of those amps and stuff it into that cigar box, that is if it would fit of course.

I thought about it too. My brother-in-law recently gave me a couple of large boxes about the time I saw these. Just haven't had any time to mess with the idea yet.
paper jamz!
I saw them just the other day and had the same thought, but I had already bought enough parts to build 5 amps, oh well next time. Try it out and let us know how it works.
Yeah, paper jamz.....that's what they are....which in turn kinda sucks, because the paper jamz took the place of the guitar strings.....I loved to go get grocies, shampoo, "Oh, and wait honey, I need to run to toys to get some strings for my new build...." yeah, that ain't happen' anymore.
Hmm, sounds tempting - but I dislike the way that walmart has done more to offshore jobs more than any other business to give them my money.

Once won a $500 gift certificate there as a speaker at a junkyard convention. That was harsh.
walgreens carries these also.
