In this video I make a pretty cool guitar amp with the help of my wife!! It's loud, that's for sure! I really appreciate you watching!! Thanks!!!!!!!! #diyguitaramp #budgetamplifier #buildyourownguitaramp
I think I’ve said this before, but my favorite thing about you is that you have an idea, and you execute the idea. You woke up one morning and thought “I’d like a 300w amp today” and you went to bed that night having built a 300w amp. I respect your follow-through so much!
My mates Dad used to make us amps in the 80s from old jukebox speakers.hi fi amps& old brown wood 1940s wardrobes cut down to cab size...Some of the best amps ive ever used...
Love this shit, dude. Redneck ingenuity. People spending a couple hundred, some elbow grease, and LOTS of creativity...giving a superior quality product to multi grand commercial products. Subscribed.
I absolutely love tinkering. Years ago I tinkered around and made a Jerry rigged bass amp with a speaker and a rough same amplifier power supply and power strip. Love this! Kudos! Got me inspired 👌
I've been doing these kinds of "thinking outside the box" projects for years, and they're the funnest kind to do, IMO. I think it has something to do with defying the whole "YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" response that the typical person from any given respective field will automatically say when you tell them what you're gonna do, idk? I have to admit that even I was cringing a bit when I saw the speakers you were using. I was wrong! I think that thing sounds great for what you had on hand. would be cool though if you did another video on this using a true 10" or 12" guitar cab speaker. NICE JOB MY FRIEND, I LOVE IT!
I use a Quilter "Interblock" Class D pedal-sized amp to drive two small 1x10" open-back cabs. It has a very "tube-like" front end, so no modeling is required for it to sound very much like my old tube amp (similar to the 5F6 Fender Tweed Bassman circuit) does with same cabs. That's why that "valve" amp been gathering dust for years! My 7.1 audio system is also 100 percent Class D, including two Aiyima A07s for the ambience/surround speakers -- that technology has improved tremendously over the last ten years or so.
I have built a few small tube amps, but this video, the process and your build is great. Sounds great and gets the job done. Thank you for sharing, great work!
This is really awesome!! I recently found an empty wooden amp shell that looks like a VOX AC30 2x12 build and have been thinking about retrofitting a cheap, solid-state amp into it to fool everyone into thinking it's some boutique, custom-built tube amp haha but I may go this route instead!

I did something similar to this 4 years ago. 20 watts per side, 3 1/2" automotive speakers mounted inside old boom box speaker housings. It made for a killer practice amp.
Man you and Kathy can do and make anything, ya’ll just blew my mind on this amp tho. Keep these great video’s coming everyone should know about ya’lls channel I love ya’ll!
Just goes to show that you don’t need a tom of fancy equipment to make your own cabinets. I wanna make a 4x8 for my Orange Micro Terror, since Blackstar no longer makes theirs.
This is a pretty solid approach for the PA, especially as you can build it to work with any instrument. You can get plenty of tone out of a processor, pedals or a nice preamp. If you want tube sound, a tube pre on a 100V supply should do it, though it won't be completely the same as the power tube sound.
My first amp was a cheap 90s karaoke machine with a 1/4" mic input that distorted really easily. It actually sounded pretty good. I ended up shredding the speaker because I constantly dimed it.
My first one was plugging straight into a Technics cassette deck on our stereo. I then moved up to using an old Tandberg reel-to-reel tape recorder and an old military speaker. More than 40 years ago…
I played my bass guitar connected to a DemonFX Microtubes preamp pedal to a Fosi 600W mini audio amp and connected to my 410 Cab. It was LOUD and held up for the hour I was practicing.
That was a pretty cool project. Did you just have one input or more than 1 input . I was wondering with have pairs of speakers like you did would it give you a stereo effect or would they allow you to make the amplifier louder?
good job Sean, keeping it real and loud!! Did you see what happened to one of my halfs of melody?? I was thinning the sides and back, the router bit spit out and .2 didn't even slow it down, start again!
That's a nice job. I'm doing it with a lekato headphone amp and a TPA3110 amp board at 15 watts a side. Needs a 12v supply, and I'll stem that off to a buck converter set at 5V to charge the Lekato I think you've got a little overkill as far as speakers are concerned. If you're not using any type of crossover it's not worth it at all. You need a full range speaker, and that will do it. Even better is finding an online calculator to tell you the exact dimensions of what the box should be for a flat response. Having said that it sounds fine, but hardly a 'quiet practice amp' lol
My first amp was the guts from an old valve radio and some 18mm chipboard and a couple of 12" woofers from an old stereo, it wasn't too loud but it sounded great as it broke up at mid volume! You could get old valve radios for pennies back then, you would be lucky to even find one for sale these days
Man that is so cool I love that I bought a spark but had I known I could get one of those LOL I would have bought that instead van great job I love your stuff man
Do you know the wattage of the speakers? I wanna try something like this myself but I'm worried about damaging my drivers with too much power from the power-amp....
Whoa! Close eyes, listen! It’s A Fender, No it’s a Supro, wait man that’s a Marshall! That’s just a Jim Dandy Scarr-y Sound Machine! Super job my man! (Excellent speaker placement as well!)
