http://www.parts-express.com/t-amp-tripath-ta2024-2x15w-audio-digital-amplifier-board--320-600 this is the amp in question. This build is strictly for a price amp setup for my son to use and me to have something to tinker with. Nothing to serious just another steeping stone.

To date i have only built one circuit using a lm386 chip and it was the most basic build i could find. So working and planning wondering about a t amp build using a 2x15 watt (10 rms) 8 ohm chip board. With a warehouse guitar speaker 10" speaker 20 watts rms. I know the t amp is 2 channel and not bridgable the plan was to use one channel and put 2nd channel as a output jack for future expansion. Also planned was a ruby cricket style pre amp for the input to it for tone controls and such.

Just love when the layouts are in this nice color presentation. I know for me it helps to understand it all better, also make a learning tool as long as the builder studies both the color graphic style and schematic together.

I skipped on the small speaker setup and wired it for a 1/8 mono female mono headphone jack so our son would have more versatility out of as far as plugging into speakers or headphones for practice. His fender practice amp died so this is to keep him going while i refine my building skills to bigger projects. Once this one is soldered and in a box ill move to more complex amps, along with building the cabinet to go with them.

Sorry I've been sick in bed for the past few days and unable to do anything. I did manage to get out today and grab some radio shack parts and breadboarded my first circuit together based on this deign http://mad-science.wonderhowto.com/how-to/build-your-own-mini-altoids-guitar-amp-for-about-5-0135412/ . Luckily i got it to work on my first try so son to be solderd together.

That is exactly what style I was looking for thank you so much. Do you know if there are any more circuits show the schematic this was. I think this style would help many newcomers on their first build having that style and regular schematic side by side on a build. Thanks Barry

Hello all. I was directed here from the beavisaudio website. Right now i have small aspiriations, just a little pocket amp for playing through headphones aka altoids amp Later i plan trying my luck at some other circuits for amps mostly the noisy cricket design. With all this i know i have to crawl before i run. With that being said electronic wiring jusg seems to baffle me at this point. this is some cause of concern considering I'm an electrician and have been for the last 10 years. What is most confusing is the parts list offered then they scematic has more parts added. With that aside i have a list together and plan on bread boarding it together this weekend to determine if i understand it and get it working. Any direction would be most helpful thanks for your time The Bear.
