14-Watt Guitar Amplifier with Baxandall Tone Stack Kit (#5887)

 This Guitar Audio Amplifier Kit is a very clean-sounding 14-watt Guitar Amplifier. The Amplifier is rated at 0.5% THD with 14v into a 4 Ohm load. This is great for learning new songs or just playing along with your favorite music. And you get the fun of building it.

It will accept your guitar input via a 1/4" phono jack. The input is a very-high impedance FET circuit. The guitar sound is then routed thru a Baxandall Tone Stack with Bass and Treble controls. The Baxandall Tone control portion uses Mylar (Metalized Polypropylene) Film capacitors for excellent audio characteristics. It is then fed to an OP Amp pre-amplifier with external frequency compensation for frequency stability prior to going into a Class AB, 14-Watt audio amplifier. Connect the output to your speaker cabinet for a neat experience. It will drive a 4 or 8 Ohm speaker, 10 watts or better. The PCB is approx 3.8" wide x 4.8" deep. 

The output is available at a 1/4" jack AND at an RCA jack. You get both in the kit. You will also get knobs for the controls.

The operating voltage is 12vdc. It has two 1,000uF capacitors on the input power for additional filtering. You will need a 12vdc power supply capable of delivering at least 2 amps, a 20-watt or better power supply will work just fine. A wall-mount power supply that is not regulated may produce hum, avoid them if you can.

This is a kit. You will need soldering tools and supplies. A speaker is required, none is supplied. Knobs are included.

We also offer this as a Built & Tested unit for those that do not want to build it themselves.
