Title: Amp kits...
Post by: Stompin_Tom on September 06, 2006, 11:23:30 AM
This kit might be useful for a practice amp.

This one's got a bit more power (I assume it would be easy to convert to run in parallel):

And finally, a guitar preamp kit. I wish there were more details about this one. I'm curious, but doubt that it would sound that great. Seems a bit pricey, too:

The first one you listed I have built, its ok at best for guitar.  A 1/2w little gem is about as loud, and much better quality.

Good to know. I sort of forgot about all the good designs for small practice amps out there... little gem, ruby, etc.
