2nd Home Made Cigar Box Amp - Sound Test

Made this one as a swap for a guitar....love the amp module from guitar fuel so much I'm going to get another one for myself!
Sorry I'm in the dark, but it's about the amp after all...and thinking about it, that's probably the best lighting for me for a Monday morning!!
I'm playing a 3 string CBG made by Fuzzy Whitener. Check out his YouTube page http://www.youtube.com/user/FuzzysCBG he makes great guitars and is always selling them on eBay : -)
It's tuned C,G,C

Awesome! I've been tempted buy one of those. I did bought one of there SDA (Speaker Drive Amplifier) and it sounds good, but not as good as that. I've built a Little Gem and a Rube, but by the time you source all the parts plus shipping it's a wash and you don't have to rely on your soldering skills.

Did is see a speaker out?

thanks Frank.Got the speaker cloth off an old radio we had in the garage..there's enough left for the one I'm making next : -)

Good clear and a neat raw and ragged sound too. I like the grill cloth cover real well .

COOL! Must be hard to part with it.

thanks David...it's just 3 watts, but surprisingly loud. Here's a link to where I got it http://guitarfuel.com/MA3S_Amp_Harness.php a bit pricey but I'd seen a few videos on Youtube of them and like the sound, so wanted to try one (I also soldered up one of the 7 watt Velleman kits which worked ok, but was nowhere near as loud...and also not sure I trusted my soldering to survive a journey to the US!!)

That's great Belinda, real sweet looking amp. What's the spec. on the amp module? How many watts and where did you get it?
Comment by bemuzic on August 9, 2010 at 6:29am
