I have not posted here in a million years -- been off in Google groups, but last night I had a great time when I surprised a good friend by giving him one of a pair of resonator CBGs I had built. The…Continue

Here is my 1st amp. I always wanted to make one, than I walked into the local Guitar Center about a year ago and they had a Fender Mini Tone-Master on sale for $29. LM386 Mini Amp $8 This version has no adjustments except on/off/volume so it is very good for my Uke playing, but not so good for my steel 3 stringer, I'll have to order some parts from Ben for that.
This is a video of my first cigar box amp.
Good job guys on your amps. Keep it up.
Hi Glenn, I've made a CGB amplifier, very like a 'smokey joe' type amp. It's 0.5 watt using a LM 386 - N3 chip which isn't very loud but has terrific gain. The LM 386 - N4 is rated at 1 watt, but I couldn't get one when I needed it.
The components are very cheap, good supplier is Bowood electronics based in Chesterfield, check out their website & give Will a call he's very helpful.
The circuit board I used is as per the web link below (which is a really good guide) is a proto board sourced from eBay.
This link is a great step by step guide & there's also a link to a coloured diagram which is a great visual aid.

All the best Dave
Hi ampers. I'm about to build some Noisy Cricket amps, which are 1/2W. Are there any good 9v amps with 1W output? I like the sound of Noisy Cricket and it has gain and tone controls. The Stella amp looks good but can't find a schematic for it and not sure if it is 1/2W or 1W.
Just joined group, guys. Ah'll put up some of ma amps that ah nver built lol. I can boil an egg, so ah'll stick ta buyin lol
No on that last one, but I do have one like it. I've got 5 or 6 different fuzz PCB's so I think I'll just put this one on the shelf for now & use one of the others. Thanks for your help, but you are wrong, there must be 50 gazillion of these clones & no two are alike. I will now go eat my burrito,drink beer & watch the snowstorm.. Have a good weekend.
