My build

Finished my build. I installed a power switch and put the LED in the case. I had no choice on that really as I damaged the LED holes in the PCB and had to relocate it anyway.

I ended up wiring in the loop after the switch. I used a LED with a build in resistor so that seemed to work. Looks nice and bright.

So far, I've found it very useable for electric guitar. Clean tone is not quite as loud as I hoped, but it has a ton of crunch when you turn it up. Very fun.

WHere the amp really shined for me was when I plugged in my korg synth. It's a batter poweredc portable synth, and combining the two gives me a great portability for an electronic instrument. It has plenty of volume and with the 6.5" two way i used, lots of bass and mids to help out with the range of the synth. Very impressed.

I've also used it to amplify my mp3 player. Think itll be great to bring along on camping trips and have some quiet music to enjoy. Or for the front porch. For a picnic. For any old where.

And the thing just seems to sip batteries. I've had the same four AA's in there for three days now.

I think next I wanna make the solar stella. Or convert this one. Anybody else built that yet?
