my first miniamp build (more of a hack)

i realize i did not build this from scratch so it doesn't qualify as much , but it was a fun starter project . the amp circuit was taken from a kiddie tape deck that had a lil plastic mic . i added a chorus circuit that i removed from a dano pedal , then a delay that i modified a little bit .

the video has 2 parts , part one i talk about it , part two i try and play a little bit thru it .

i only use 2 fingers to fret cause of a lawnmower accident when i was a kid .

Very good, and of course it counts!  Most of us are electronics hackers more than anything else anyway...it's how I started too :tu:

I gave you some chip points for this too since you had the videos to go along with it.

Your amp sounds pretty decent  :tu:  I like DIY just about anything and I also like to see "innovation" and your amp abounds with that for sure. I see you're not affraid to think outside the Cigar box.    :tu:

You say "hack" like it was a bad thing.  ;D

thanks for watching . i have a few more that i will link up as well , they get better (the amps) , including a bass amp , and this one that was a real nightmare ! i gues i am used to this other place , where guys put up 386 amps , with minimal frills and everyone really digs em . mine kinda get swept under the rug .

the funny thing is i know if i chose to do a 386 amp , and kept it simple , it would be finished a lot sooner compared to the projects i have done .

Really?  People get more excited about a basic LM386 amp than your creation?  Weird.  That's certainly not the case here.
