How would you go about moving the design onto a breadboard? Also would it be safe to round the two 11k resistors to 10k?
#17
I cant find any...  >:( I definitely do not want to mess with AC mains voltage. Ill have to try my luck with a breadboard first, then maybe a perma-proto board? I dont know.

What would the most sensible way to build this (ie vero or perf) because I don't want to go into PCB production and also how would you implement prototyping on a breadboard. Just so you know I will be purchasing from taydaelectronics.com.  :)  Also what value potentiometers should I use? Its not marked on the schematic. In terms of the transformer, do you mean 230vAC in and 16v DC out? What about a 16v DC wallwart, the only thing is that they are ridiculously expensive in New Zealand.

Will the wattage double with a 12v supply?

I think a LM383 would be my best bet. According to generalguitargadgets.com, A LM383 produces around 8 watts at 12v. I like this one, (Len Galasso's Practice Man) but it only produces about three watts and it works on 6v. I like the fact it has a full three band eq and two channels. You can also download just the eq section schematic though, but I guess it only works on the 6v power supply.

Im currently building a small 386 amp, and just want to move up in quality of output and volume, really.

http://www.canakit.com/20w-bridged-audio-amplifier-kit-CK193-UK193.html?gclid=CM_jme-qycUCFZSCaQod-QwANg I noticed this on another forum, any good? I dont mind having 2 volume controls, my 30w Marshall does. Is it compatible with the 12ax7 Preamp and also it it safe to connect two wires per terminal to the DC jack? or would i need a +12v and Ground bus (a strip of copper wire)?

I was going to start with a basic 12v 12ax7 preamp and a SS power amp. (TL072 of LM386N4). Sort of similar to a Tube Cricket, but with a higher output and a improved tone stack.

I wouldn't mind working with DC power supplies, if that would work

Hi I would like to design a portable but loud 9v amp. I would like to make it 1x10. I have never designed a complicated circuit in my life so this would be a great achievement. Thanks in advance.i also want a effects loop.

I'm currently building it on breadboard. Its gonna be a mini marshall stack sorta like the MG15CFXMS. I ended up with a Jensen C8R because the Celestions were backordered. I think it'll be loud enough to play my drummer friend. I'm hopeful anyway. Could you also post a breadboard layout for the Smokey amp? thanks. Also where should i get the tolex for the cabinet?

Would it be possible though? Maybe 47nf and 1uF might be better. Than might have more of a impact. I was thinking of using the tone knob as a treble control and if this was possible using the extra pot as a bass control?

Also would I be able to drive a Celestion 8 15 speaker with it? How loud would it be?

Hey, I'm new on the forum and I'm building a Noisy Cricket 1/2w  guitar amp and would like to know if anyone knows any modifications. I am interested in doing the bass switch mod and had an idea. Would it be possible to fade between the two capacitors (47nF and 100nF) with a potentiometer? Thanks in advance.
