  • Thanks Darryl, This one is a 5watt amp from Guitar Fuel, got it pre made up, you can get them DIY. 

  • did you use a kit for the amp, or build circuit yourself? i am looking for something a little more powerful than the lm386 amps

  • i am very impressed

  •  I reckon this could have gone either way.... a guitar or an amp.  I guess I could get another manifold and make the Git to go with the amp.... accessorise Man style.  :o)

  • Cool Mick . You will be "Holden Court" when it's finished ! 

    Big thumbs up on the Cat comment. My kids did the knocking over until they grew up and passed the baton to Miss Rosie ;-D 

  •  Thanks guys, since getting into CBG's and free style guitar building, I can't stop seeing the potential for normal everyday items to be used as parts for guitars and amps. I wonder if that can be classed as a syndrome.  :)

  • You get an "A" for creativity ;)
  • This one will be mounted on a cast iron industrial pedestal fan shaft and base. It will be a guitar practice amp and guitar stand holding 2 maybe 3 guitars hanging off it.     it should look pretty cool.  it has to be stable enough for the cat to not knock it over.  :)  

  • That's the plan, I have got a follow up photo I'm just about to upload. . :o)
