The SD2W guitar amplifier circuit has more features and install flexibility than any other comparable circuit on the market! With 2 watts of power, our circuit uses SMT (Surface Mount Technology) manufacturing making it small enough for just about any enclosure. With features like volume, tone and gain controls just like a full-size amplifier, the SD2W is a favorite with CBG (Cigar Box Guitar) builders.

The SD2W is a great way to “get your feet wet” as a mini amp builder. Offered as a circuit plus (+) which includes the tone and gain potentiometers, EZ Solder with all components pre wired and finally, our No Solder harness which is ready to install. Complete kits with a 3.4" speaker and all hardware are also available.

Our amplifier circuits have been used for amp-in-case builds, amp-in-guitar designs and of course, stand alone amplifiers using everything from a cigar box to a soup can! We encourage you to “think outside the box” when it comes to choosing an enclosure. Build your guitar playing friends a custom mini amp as a unique gift. Start your own or add to an existing small business selling your builds on line or at music festivals, craft shows and flea markets.

Powered by a 9V alkaline battery, the SD2W gives you the install flexibility and options to create a serious little TONE MONSTER for practice, busking, low level jamming or even recording. Not to be confused with the 1 watt brand name mini amps collecting dust on a shelf, the SD2W allows you to build a unique guitar amplifier in just a few hours. You are only limited by your imagination!
