Killer practice rig.

My son and I pieced this together last weekend.




It is a massive 2.5 watts of pure solid state tonal bliss. The 3.5 inch full range driver is crafted from the finest billet Chinesium as are the amplifier board, wiring, etc.
The lightweight enclosure is a Leatherman watch box. I added genuine graphite inlays to the logo's, ( colored them in with a #2 pencil).
The on board effects package is amazing. Opening the box gives a pretty convincing AM modulation effect, opening and closing it repeatedly produces a wah effect, open and close it faster for the phaser effect. Adjusting the board mounted tone pot wide open and cranking the volume wide open produces a surprisingly useful mild distortion even with the limited volume.
Honestly it sounds pretty good for what it is. Works with Bass, guitar or any thing with a 3.5 or 1/4 output. I have parts on the way to add Bluetooth functionality.
Between this amp and my recently added 0-100 volume knob surround, I have unleashed previously unimagined of levels of funkativity.
We are currently working on a small amp using a violin bass body as an enclosure.
Now if the police will leave and my ears will stop bleeding I'll be good to go.

Add a foot pedal to mechanically operate it that way. I'm thinking gas-cables from a car or motorcycle that pull open and close each way.


Seriously, nice project. I love it.

See, that amp is too complicated for me. It has a knob I have to turn and that light is confusing. Too much work involved. I prefer just to plug it in and its on full power... lets keep it simple Actually a nice job well done.

Thanks, we're working on a pedal design that will hopefully breakdown and store inside the amp. I'll update this post with whatever we come up with.

This will be the enclosure for version 2.0 of the mini amp. When it's done it will be usb rechargeable or 110v. Single channel 10watts, 3.5 inch driver, bluetooth, usb, 3.5mm and 1/4 inch inputs.
