DIY - My new homemade amp
My friends know me as a bit of a tinkerer. Always making my own things and they aren't always amazing but I learn from each half-success and this time I've got myself a great amp that will fit in my backpack for my long-term travels. My new trip starts in New Zealand in July and will venture onto the south of France in early August and then anywhere from there...
So here's a bit of a show-an'-tell. I used the active components of a Yamaha THR-5 amp because the reverb on this thing sounds like smooth butter. And I love butter.
By no means am I a professional, I have a go and if it works, I'm pretty happy with that. I ordered this aluminium case from Hong Kong which cost me 50 bucks and 2 months to arrive.
But after a long wait - here she is, I've called her Mordrid and like my other creations - she's a work of art...
She has a sexy handle and strap...
And a sexy switch...
And a couple of sexy plugs! One for 12volt recharge (a decent battery source with recharge option is hard to come by in a battery powered amp)...
This being her sexy battery (a motorcycle battery)...
With space for another bun in the oven if the need arises...
Two times sony xplod speakers...
The decapitated active component of the amp...
And by all rights, she could also be a he.
Here's my sexy charger...
Special thanks to the following -
Soldering iron legend!
Glue gun extra-ordinaire!
And by non-appearance due to having been consumed and used - the one and only - epoxy resin! (and of course good ole, duct tape).
Thanks for popping by, I hope you enjoyed this excursion into my latest DIY project.
All the best,
Monty
That looks very funny.
Well, the street is a dramatic place and street performing must have a level of drama! lol
