    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!

    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 👌

    @rmax5150 Před 5 měsíci +4

    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 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 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.

    • @James-eg3nf
      @James-eg3nf Před 4 měsíci

      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.

    • @TheJonathanNewton
      @TheJonathanNewton Před 4 měsíci +1

      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…

  • @StevDoesBigJumps
    @StevDoesBigJumps Před 4 měsíci +2

    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.

  • @minkorrh
    @minkorrh Před 3 měsíci +1

    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

  • @1171karl
    @1171karl Před 4 měsíci +6

    I don't want to put your efforts down as its a decent build and might inspire others. I've got some doubts about your speaker and amp choices though. I'm guessing the actual power rating is 75w rms x2, but that's still too loud for home use, rehearsal rooms and most gig environments. Including tweeters I thought was odd in a guitar amp, expect it would make the sound too fizzy? I'm doubtful your scavenged speakers would be up to the job with that output too...
