Ambient
New Member
My brother is just starting to get into electronics and I was thinking of project ideas for us to try together. His friend recently cranked up my brothers rather expensive guitar amp and toasted it somehow. Probably used the wrong input, cause that is something this retard would do. Anyway, if we were to attempt to build a new basic amp or fix his present one, what voltage rating will we need on the power supply?
I am guessing maybe a DC +-48V would do the trick? It needs to be reasonably loud and we will probably use a 8 or 10 inch woofer with some smaller high frequency speakers. I have no idea what voltage is reasonable. I know to use the Peak wattage of the speaker to determine how much current will be required, I just do not know about the voltages. Thanks for the help.
I also plan on making the amp modular to add distortion and other features at some point. Probably using a Microcontroller. Any suggestions about that?
