Well in the past few days I've finished the amp cabinet. Not totally crazy about the final finish on the wood but i just used some tinted polyurethane we had around - trying to save some money. I plugged in the LM386 amp - Frankenstein Amp - that I slapped together a couple of weeks ago ... and decent guitar sounds came out of it. It drives the 8" Jensen fairly well. The idea here was an amp cab with an amp bay where I could slide in different modules. So next up is a battery powered amp with an actual tone stack and about 1watt of power. Then an AC powered amp with tone stack and 5 to 10watts.
The journey continues as I finalize the amp design by slicing and dicing other designs. The amazing news is that Radio Shack still carries TL082 op-amps
