Birthday Goodies: 56k=busy signal

[TonyFlyingSquirrel]

So, my 20 year old son flew up from Modesto, Ca this weekend, & while he was here decided to make me a guitar amp, from scratch, from an Altoids tin, then, to boost the highs, he decided to build me a crossfeed circuit out of a smaller Altoids tin.

The thing is, it actually sounds pretty cool.  It's completely clean, no disto, & flat, but if I want to plug in during my lunch time at work, I can without anything else.

Pics now, clips later, gotta buy an adapter.

That's cool. Pretty curious to hear the clips now.

Very nice!!!  :toothy10:

COOL!

My dad doesn't play guitar, so all I ever get him is a box of golf balls and a sweater. I'd say you're doing a whole lot better.

Man.... totally out of the box.... and I thought that Altoids were for givin' frosty's to the ol' lady... HAH!~~ Now I got a reason~~ SAVE THAT TIN~~

Sounds like you raised him right.

Was thinking how that amp might be.... with an elastic band holding it to ya arm (or leg), ie, total self containment.

hhmm, don't mean to sound like an idiot, but how do you go from the guitar to the amp, if its all 1/8 inch plugs?

Although EVH preceeds me by about 10 years, my Son preceeds WVH by about 5.
My son is not a musician, but loves all the technology behind it, & he's also a sculpture artist, and he draws very well.

Next - custom paint job on your next Warmoth!

and he draws very well.

He'd be ok then in spaghetti westerns~  Head em up, move em out, rawhide......
