14-Watt Guitar Amplifier with Brownface Tone Stack Kit (#9287)

This kit is a very clean-sounding 14-watt Guitar Amplifier with a Brownface Tone Stack. 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.

We have adapted the Brownface Tone Stack and our version sounds great. It has a Treble and a Bass control which are both active.

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 Brownface Tone Stack with Bass and Treble controls. The Brownface 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 a RCA Terminal. You get both in the kit. You will also get knobs for the controls.

The operating voltage is 12vdc. It has two 1000uF 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.

This is a kit. You will need soldering tools and supplies. A 4 to 8 Ohm, 10W speaker is required, none is supplied.

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