any mini box modders out there?

[Everdying]

lets just say i wanna do something similar to this.

but possibly a distortion unit, or a headphone amp for guitar.
i have a few of those tin cases, cool mints btw

anyone good at this?

 

[eugen3]

OMG damn cool!

 

[imcorn]

u need to at least a schematic first.. but headphone amps schemes should be easy enough to find.. sound-wise.. i'm not so convinced that it will sound good

 

[Everdying]

well, i'm not expecting them to have excellent sound, passable cleans or even just a mild distortion is good enough.
just something cheap that you can bring around and play your guitar thru headphones with, or even drive some small speaker.

smallest ones so far are the smokey mini amps, but still much larger than those mint tin cans so not sure how its gonna fit.
and i sux in electronics.

you can find a circuit diagram of one here.

go build the chu moy's headphone amp on headwize.com

 

[Impromptu]

if the output is connected to a 4x12 stack, you got instant portable amp head :lol:

 

[kahuna]

yap like the smoky amps in ebenex music...can b used as a permanent overdrive pedal...and it runs on a 9v battery if i not wrong can power a 4x12 cab

for anyone who wants a good portable mini 1/2w amp, try this webbie

Beavis Audio and look for the noisy cricket schematics.. you can easily build your own!

I can custom build one for you. just tell me how you want it and i'll tell you if its possible

well, see the mint box in that ebay ad?
wondering if the circuit for a headphone amp can fit in it.
box dimensions are 7.5 x 4 x 2 (cm).

 

[seekz]

can. PCB can be very compact.

 

[Everdying]

can. PCB can be very compact.

i'm sure it can.
but finding space for the pcb among the 9v battery, and 2 jacks?
im thinking 1 proper input jack for guitar, and a mini stereo output jack to save on space, mainly to be used for headphones anyway.

[trianglebiscuit]

can that schematic be used to amplify guitar signals?

 

[johnny_be_goode]

oops, think this one more for line input.


Try Smokey amp
