Simple little amp - I really only made it to practice my soldering skills.  Mini-toggle is a grit-switch (more, or less), following by tone, gain and volume.  Drives pretty much any speaker.  Sounds pretty raw through a 10" Jensen with no cab and surprisingly "proper" through a Marshall 1x12 cab.  If I get some time, I'll try recording it.

S'pose I should make these into a standard metal enclosure/box really, then @Boo could sparkly-ise them!

@tv101 Somehow I forgot to comment on this. Wow! This is so cool T, nice job mate. 

Yeah I wouldn’t mind one of them and yes I can paint them up for you. If you get one to me, I’ll paint one for you and send it back. No charge, it’s a prototype. 😉👍

My labelling kit only goes up to 11, whereas this needs numbers up to 12.

smell like WD-40

WD-40 - The smell of a real man!!

That's the one that you "splash it on all over", right ????

Looks easy enough to wire into a guitar (just put it between the hot/earth and output jack).  The circuit board is small enough - just needs space in the cavity for the 9v battery.

@tv101 cheers for that. You’ll have to walk me through it with a “how to” video or something. I don’t understand wiring at all and I struggle to figure out wiring diagrams. I was with you with “just put it between the......” and then I know nothing. 🤣 

I’ll have to find a way of anchoring it to the inside of the cavity. 

Exciting. 👍

I'm half tempted to fit it into a guitar for some on-board electronickery. 

@tv101 Yes, great idea. I’d love to fit one in one of my builds. If you develop it further, I’ll buy one from you.

That does "what it says on the tin" too - I've just plugged it in front of my little 5w valvey amp.

How does it sound so far?

It's a real lo-fi, low-wattage, basic amp!  The controls are Grit, Gain, Tone and Volume.  Tone doesn't do a lot, it's mainly about how dirty you want the sound to be!

Ridiculously, a 9v battery and that simple circuit will drive a 4x12 stack if you've got one (I don't).  To be fair, it doesn't sound half bad through the 1x12 Marshall cab that I do have.  

Really, I only made it for the fun of making it.  I'll have some more fun making a pretty box to fit it into.

🙂
