Shop Amp

Shop Amp

So I've always wanted an amp in the shop that could take any input I wanted. I built this around the ART USB pre that was my computer interface for a long time. Now it's part of a 3 watt platform in my shop for bluetooth music listening and low or high (not piezo high) impedance guitar amp. Can still go into the computer or use as a DI box. A great woodworking/electronics project in the end and something that will last me a while I think.

Thanks RTZ.  It's easy to find the receivers, but haven't found a cheap enough transmitter to hack yet.

Awesome utilityamp turtle,    been thinking of buying a cheap Bluetooth speaker at the discount store for a amp. Not sure if they make cheap 1/4 transmitters yet, it would be cool to test and play guitar without a cable.
