Only did it because I forgot to put a brass earth strip under the bridge
thank you lowatter.
Hi Lowatter,
If you look at my photos, the 1st amp I built was using the kit from CB Gitty in an old humidor I had. Sounds OK. Nice quiet practice amp.
The next 2 amps use the guts from Danelctro Honeytone (available for less than $20, Amazon) I just removed the circuit board ( kinda tricky)and speaker. I then put them in some small boxes I had. I mounted them to a sheet aluminum plate I made. the side plate for the headphones and optional power adapter is made from Formica painted silver.
I reelay like how these sound. You get lots of sound range by adjusting the 3 controls (volume, tone and overdrive) With things cranked up, these are pretty loud, Won't wake the neighbors, but the rest of the house will here it.
Quinn and Stewart: Two famous Marthas. Martha Quinn was one of the original MTv VeeJays. Martha Stewart is the "ultimate hostess".
I was just being silly.
