1/2 Watt SS Combo

[nzCdog]

This is my amp building debut... well the first one that made it alive off the breadboard anyway
Completed from scratch in 1.1 days with a full compliment of spare parts and obsessive behaviour patience from my family

It stands up


I lies down


It has guts


LM386 N3 running on 9V = 1/2 a watt pure rawking power into 8 Ohms
Destined for the workbench as a tester/mp3 player

Cute amp. Aww, look at the chickenhead!

Flowers on the grill.

Awesome. What speaker did you go with?

[nzCdog]

Thanks Jon...    Its just a 1/2 Watt cheapo from tayda.

I never thought I'd call an amp "adorable", but that is one adorable amp.

Cute little thing, I love the black velvet.

So, do you now have the amp building bug? 

[sgmezei]

It looks great dude!

[nzCdog]

Thanks guys... its pretty cute and has the lovely open back cab sound like an old radio

So, do you now have the amp building bug? 

Oh man yes! I've had the amp building bug for a couple years... but financial constraints have really been kicking my butt.  Hoping to start my tube amp collection with a AX84 project... soonish... (and then an 18w...5E3...TC15...  )

Actually after a the first day's playing... I found the tayda speaker disappointing
That mylar cone breaks up with a horrible cracking sound...

But then I found these NOS philips 'Super Loud's for $1!


Now thats a world of difference... sounding great! (And super loud)

Nice work dude.

Very cut little amp!

Time for a 2x4 cab! 

[nzCdog]

Thanks guys 

Time for a 2x4 cab! 

Lolz!  Yeah I'm already reading up for the next teeny project... seeing as have a couple of 12AU7s lying around... might do a hybrid amp for shits and gigs

1x4 extension cab!! SUPER LOUD!
old speakers are strange- I had a 1980 Camaro w t-tops and the old ass paper speakers that were in it sounded WAY better than the new fancy Alpines I replaced them with. Those Alpines sucked farts and burped sadness.
lolz
I need to go to bed.
