Build your own battery-powered amplifier and bring your Cigar Box Guitar anywhere with this complete kit! The box can vary in shape and size (see photo for example), but the kit comes with everything you need to put together your very own amplifier. The main photo is an example of what the amp might look like after construction.
The guts of this amp kit is a 2.5 wattamp board, whichreally puts out some nice sound considering its size and input power. The amp board comes with 1-foot wire leads pre-soldered to the key connection points, to eliminate some of the more fiddly bits of assembly for you. This kit includes a four-page how-to sheet that shows wiring diagrams and covers some key points about wiring and assembly. Only basic soldering skills, and an ability to read simple wiring diagrams, are required to assemble this kit!
The amp board also has an onboard Tone Trim Pot, adjustable with a Philips screwdriver , which allows for fine-tuning the tone from clean to crunchy. We always crank the tone all the way up before shipping our own amplifiers, so that they produce the loudest, crunchiest tone - because that's what we think sounds best with a CBG! For those of you who are interested in tweaking your CB amp, and aren't scared of a soldering iron, the amp board also provides connection points for an output jack and headphones jack as well!

Assembly time: just 3-4 hours, ...Building a cigar box guitar amplifier can be as simple or as difficult as you choose to make it. For me, the more simple route suits me best. I'm not an electronics wizard, and I'm not into creating amps from telephones and transistor radios, so I like to use a cool cigar box for my enclosure and a ready-made wire harness, which I know works. Perhaps, if I could find well-defined pictorial directions, I would convert my old tape recorder into an amp, but I haven't found that yet, so here is my idea of a good time.
Easy Diy Pre Amp: Makes Piezo Equipped Cigar Box Guitars Sound Better
Wire harness, from my supply inventory. If I'm not interested in usingan AC adapterwith my amp, I choose the SD-2W harness. It's easy to install, and it works great. If I want a little more from my amp and the convenience of plugging it into the wall, it's the SD-MAH3 for me. In my opinion, the
Harness is the best available. It may be a couple bucks more than some of the others I see on some of the web sites, but the quality is top notch, and I don't have to screw around with anything . . . it comes to me ready to install.
2. Next, I select the cigar box I want to use for my amp . . . and, my selection might be something other than a cigar box, if I find something so unique that I cannot live without it, such as a vintage radio. But usually it's a cigar box. The box must be large enough to accommodate the harness, and speaker of choice. My favorite isthe 'Acid' box, but, Ihave a drill press and Forstner bits, so I can drill the necessary holes deep enough to accommodate the switches and plug connectors. The sides and frontof the Acid box are much thicker than many other possibilities.

3. While I was doing #1 & 2, I was also thinking about the design, and now I'm ready to move forward. Where will the controls and connectors be located? What about the sound hole opening over the speaker? What other special items to consider, e.g., handle, knobs, latch, feet, graphic application, and etc. The controls should be easily accessible and the speaker opening should be in an area that pumps sound toward your audience.You can makea control location template, which will make your job easy. However, changing things around gives originality to your builds, so you may want to forego the template idea. And, the harness leads are long enough to allow for any possible location idea you may have.
That's about as complicated as it gets. So, grab your tools and go to work . . . all you'll have is fun.
