Amplifier Discussion / Re: Simple 3W amp IC? (for 4ohm speaker)
« on: January 21, 2021, 07:19:54 AM »
I’m using this TDA1517 stereo amp kit in one of my audio electronics classes. I built and tested it over Christmas and it is stable at 4 ohms. For $12 (Jameco, $27 on Amazon) it might be worth a try for your application. The output power will depend on the supply voltage and current capabilities.

Figure 6 shows the external volume pot as 10k-log for line-level sources.

I have heard that instructions for the XPR to XPRa mods are out there...somewhere... and that the mods are extensive.

TIA if you can hook me up

Yeah, there’s one on reverb.com for $750 (WOW!) but I am interested in seeing the double clipping stages.

Schematics and Layouts / GK Indicator Footswitch
« on: May 02, 2020, 11:08:07 AM »
I haven’t contacted GK yet, but thought I’d ask here first — looking for the schematic for this GK footswitch used on the 112SC, 212SC, 150GT, etc from ~1980. The PCB inside is marked 50033B. The unit I received was DOA and someone disconnected the leads to the B channel switch at some point. I have a 112SC to test with.

I’d suggest drilling out the rivet that holds the band together, assuming you can fit a drill bit in there, and replace with a nut/bolt. I mention it because I just drilled out a seized screw in a GK400RB two days ago, after trying just about everything else. Super frustrating.

EDIT: you may also be able to use a diagonal cutter to slice through the rivet.

Amplifier Discussion / Re: Feng - Mini Amp using PAM8403 (2x 3 Watt)
« on: April 07, 2020, 06:37:55 PM »
Have a look at the NSC (now TI) “Boomer” series LM468x amplifiers. I worked on the test systems for those parts, and I could not believe how much useable power we wrenched out of +5V. We debuted them at an AES show, with a guitar “amp” we made with 4 of them (4W) all running on a 9V battery and VReg, inside of a little plastic box with belt clip. For a 5V platform, these were awesome. I think they still make a few of the models now, all smd tho.
