Hi folks,
New to this forum, and I have a question. I'm wanting to build a very simple SS guitar amp head of about 30 watts. I want it to have ONLY a single volume knob. I don't care about a pre-amp stage for distortion/overdrive at all. Essentially, that is the purpose of this project, to build a "hi-fi" head. I just want it to be an amplifier in its most simple form, zero coloration/modification of the input signal at all. This may seem like a silly or even pointless task to some... but its what I'm wanting to do.
More specifically my question pertains to matching the output impedance of an electric guitar to the input impedance of an amp kit specifically this one:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F8RXXZI/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=
Can someone explain to me exactly how I would make the input stage for a guitar, and have around a 1Meg ohm input impedance, with a simple pot for the volume control. Exactly how would you design a simple input stage to be used with this power amp, for the purpose of plugging a electric guitar into it?
If someone has a better idea for what i'm trying to accomplish in general please share it with me, as i don't have to use a class A SS hi-fi amp, I just thought it would be a really cool unique project.
Thank you and looking forward to making some friends on here!
