Build a Guitar Amplifier Easily

So here we have another project that is all about to build a "Guitar Amplifier" which is a portable amp and works with all types of guitar without a pre-amp.
As we know that the OP-Amp amplify the signals such as LM386 so this is able to work as preamp and amp.
So if we add a circuit of lm386 preamp and lm386amp it will become a fantastic guitar amp. Here is a schematic i designed.

This is hard to design but it works 100% perfect with all types of guitar. And all the parts i have used in its design are easily available in the market.

Components Required:
  • 2 - IC LM386
  • 2 - Capacitors 10uf
  • 1 - Capacitor 100uf
  • 2 - Capacitors 0.0047uf [Code 473J or 473K]
  • 1 - Resistors 100 Ohm
  • 1 - Resistor    10  Ohm
  • 1 - Potentiometer 10K Ohm 
  • 1 - LED

It will work with small and large speaker but it is not suitable for too much small speakers.

Q: Do we have a video tutorial and demo about it..???
A: Yes , We do have a tutorial and demo about it at our YouTube channel and link to its video is written below.:
How i built it...??? 
I used a wooden box and did few things to it which are clearly shown in the images below:

And after all the thing done i just packed it and tried to color it with black,yellow and red colors. I tried to write something but i am not good in drawing or designing the outside and that's why an airplane i built was crashed (because of the dry paint drop was stuck in the elevator)....LOL...!!
And here are the pictures when i finished it.
So if you like to create a guitar amp then you don't need to wait more download the circuit and start creating it. I believe you're gonna love this project. And also share your questions and feedback with me.
[Next project will be about a OverDrive Guitar Pedal]

  1. What is the value of the capacitor in series with the speaker please?

    1. That should be 220-470uF but in order to have more bassy response use larger value capacitor like a 2200uF voltage ratings of a capacitor be at least 16-25v
