  • So I got an amp kit... Help me design it :D. PIMP MY AMP!



    It's simple but I actually have great projects for it. I'll probably upgrade it with a graphic EQ that I'd get from a pedal if I have room for it.
    But mostly I was thinking about building a cabinet for it with a little 8'' speaker and make it a little DIY champ. When I get to know more about amps I'll probably try to make it voice more like a Twin Reverb, maybe add a gain stage. I'll keep it simple, BUT make it more complicated that's how us French people think (and NO I won't give up )

    However... If anyone's good with photoshop (or paint? ), I wouldn't mind some design help, and good suggestions for a 8''. The speaker needs to be decent, not amazing. Same for the cab, should I just use Pine Plywood?

    Thanks for ANY suggestions, no matter how silly

          1st thing, My German is a Lil' rusty So I have no Idea what kind of amp your building? 2nd, What kind of Graphic EQ are you planning to incorporate into this amp. It would/should have to be passive as I don't see away to power say a 9volt circuit from the amp internally? 3rd) Your aware of the lethal voltage inside a tube amp, Correct? The only French fry I wanna hear about are the ones at my local Burger King/Micky D's. So Be careful.Have fun with it!

            I shall thanks.
            I was thinking a standard 5 band, maybe 3 if room is scarce. And yeah, passive I guess. Basically instead of having just the 3 usual mid/bass/treble controls, have it in EQ. Good point about the pedal though... Could I not just power it using the power in the amp if I were to add it up?
            Eh I don't understand German at all haha let me link you to another page:

            Also what do you guys recomend I use for the enclosure? I'll do like a minihead.

              It is pretty much what it is. Build it up as it was meant to be first, enjoy it, then turn it into something it's not.
