    So I previously converted my 15W acoustic amp to battery power here, but found that the volume was slightly lacking in open areas. Another minor problem was that I accidentally fried the speaker! Seeking to upgrade my amp and create an efficient, portable power supply that I could power...

    Triple Source acoustic guitar pickup — worth it?

    I have a Fishman Presys Blend pre-installed in my Custom Acoustic FG92CEQ (full solid sitka spruce + rosewood). This gives a mono output with adjustable piezo + mic mix. Am wondering if it's worth the effort to include a third pickup (SBT or magnetic pickup) to make it a stereo output. This...

    Converting amp to battery power

    The Circuit I decided to use diodes to drop the voltage as I couldn't get my hands on a LM7809, and I was afraid the dropout voltage would be too high (11.5V). I used S2 to activate a ground lift (since ground will be connected via the signal cables). This is what happens when the amp is...

    Converting amp to battery power

    So while awaiting the arrival of the batteries, I was wondering if I could turn on the amp with the batteries in series, turn it off, and charge the amp with the batteries in parallel — with just one switch. I came up with this circuit: Position 1: Power On (Series) Neutral Position...

    Converting amp to battery power

    This started because I decided that I would want to try busking! But I realised I only have an amp that plugs in to the mains... And all busking amps need to be battery-powered. So I decided to put my sec-school physics to the test and disassemble my 15W acoustic amp :o After opening up my...

    DIY Soundport

    So after seeing guitarbear's modification I was pretty inspired to try it out myself! :D The subject: a Veelah Togo S. This was a sweet, resonant guitar but I wished it had more volume and bass response. Laminated sides = crack-resistant = perfect candidate for a new soundport. The process...
