A Guitar Amp - Made From A Tape Deck!

A Guitar Amp - Made From A Tape Deck!

Mine is a 40 Watt Philips ghetto blasting beast from the 80s. Stereo, with twin tape decks, treble, bass and balance controls, a standard phono socket, great lines -out and cool LED level indicators...It's actually BETTER than some guitar amps on the market...and... it TAKES BATTERIES too... great for al-fresco gigs!

Here is a great guide to building one: With an instructional video too. It can be adapted to conversions of old games systems and home speaker systems.

A very funny letter arrived from someone who heard me play some slide guitar on a haufcut 4-string CBG. "Sad Hawaiian Angels" is the nicest description I've had!

If you want to add amplification to an instrument, and don't want to make a pick-up, try a contact microphone. Bizzy Bee make these wonderful items in Scotland, they are attached with a ball of bee's wax, and produce a great sound. Sold for less than £30. I love them!
