new cigar box amplifier
Just finished a new cigar box amp. Powered by 9v battery, it has on/off switch, power on LED and volume control. Up to about half volume the sound is pretty clean. Turn it up and it gets progressively distorted providing a nice dirty sound ideal for some mean slide playing on a CBG. You can see/hear it here

That is a sweet amp! Any chance of going into how you build one?

Thanks Mark, I'll give it some thought. I'm thinking of producing some kind of CBG booklet or zine and that may be a subject for it. I'll ket you know if I do.
Fantastic amp! I love the sound. I have been wanting to build one to go along with my cbg but I am an electronics beginner. Do you have any suggestions on where to look to get started?
Thanks Daniel, you could have a look at this site for the electronics, although it's not the amps I have built so far I am going to have a go at making some.

The one I made is for sale, if you want more details/price etc please email me.
I think I need to get busy writing a build your own amp guide!
Cool amp! Please post guide to build it.
Jim thanks for your comment. Sorry to say I haven't finished the amp booklet yet. I was nearly there then decided to re-do the whole thing.
