Work Has Begun on TGP Bedroom Amp #1

[stvnscott]

All,

I have started building the Mini Wreck version of the TGP Bedroom Amp. I will document my progress in this thread and post pictures as I go along.

At this point, I have built the boards and machined the chassis to about 50% completion. Once I finish the chassis and get all the hardware mounted, things should fly along unless I hit a snag.

The chassis for this amp is **tiny** so it is going to be a very tight fit! If I build another one the I'll go up a size for the chassis. The other model (#2) will definitely need a much larger chassis for a dual channel switcher.

I have not perused the speaker choice any further as of yet.

Looks really neat!

For speakers, maybe those Warehouse Speakers, one of the lower ratted ones, will keep costs down....

[Fineblend]

yeah man.

p.s.
if you build 2 models,1 wreck and 1 optimized for blackface cleans and slight grit,you won't need channel switching(or a larger chassis)....i'll use an axxess amp switcher,and use the same speaker cab.
looks real fine.nice job;and thanks for caring.

How about naming it "Little Engine" as in the Little Engine That Could.

Gotta tell ya...

I'm extremely spoiled by my custom metal shop. I haven't had to work with a blank chassis in a long time and had forgotten what a pain it is!

All hail the laser punch machine thingy!

There **is** a schematic, but I'd rather not publish it until the circuit is finalized. I'm sure there will be some tone tweaking once I fire it up and try it with some different cabinets.
