I've finally finished my little suitcase amp. The idea is that it can be plugged into and played with the lid shut, or opened up and used. The grill on the front is a vent for a narrow boat engine.
I've put inside a small battery powered mini amp, and designed it to have storage space for the power adapter, leads,can of beer and other essential gubbins.

Cheers Mr Bug.

I bought this little £20 amp off ebay for the sole purpose of putting it into this case.

I don't really trust my electronic knowledge and skills to make an amp from scratch. Maybe it's something I might try in the future, as it's a little frustrating to have all the controls in a line on a circuit board. I want to be able to place the controls where I want them.
