Two rock amplifier construction, request for help.

AntonioGonzaga
AntonioGonzaga over 1 year ago

I intend to start a project to build an amplifier, preferably a replica of a TWO ROCK amplifier.

However, I don't have technical plans and I don't have enough knowledge to perform this task.

For this reason, I ask for your help to succeed in this goal.

I need a list of tools to be able to work with dignity.

the project in plans.

A list of parts to purchase.

All suggestions and knowledge from the community are welcome.

With this project I intend to acquire knowledge to improve the circuit, I need links in order to acquire knowledge to carry out this project.

I am a mechanical engineer with a great interest in learning about electronics.

    AntonioGonzaga I would caution against looking for "more difficult and challenging". Go for simple and easy. "More difficult and challenging" will find you anyway. No job is as easy as it looks. On the…

    I read your post when it first came out and walked away without responding. Your request was like asking how to boil-the-ocean and not how do I boil-a-cup of water. I tend to avoid responding to the boil-the-ocean type posts.

    On a second visit I read some of the responses and mellowed. If I asked you to build me a turbine, I suspect you would need responses to a number of queries before making a suggestion. If my build a turbine question included a specific type, I don't think the query response process would be much different. The interaction is necessary to flush out requirements.

    You want to build (what some would consider) the gold standard of amplifiers. So my question what are your requirements?

    I've been a member of the site for a number of years. Your post seemed familiar, so I did a search of E14 for "guitar amplifiers". I recall following this post.  RE: New challenge for 2022 - Hiwatt DR103 Clone amplifier. I grew up with tubes so it had some affinity. Some of the sites brighter minds offered suggestions. It was a big undertaking. 

    What is your experience with electronics? Narrow that down to audio electronics? Even with a build kit you are going to need some support from the first two questions.

    Here is a link to a boil-a-cup audio project. The cost is low (from my perspective). I believe if you successfully complete the project you will have answered many of the questions you don't even know you have to ask, before starting the larger project. I believe with the smaller project you will acquire knowledge to improve the TWO ROCK amplifier project.

    Thank you very much for you help.

    In fact, when I prepared the question I had no idea of ​​the complexity of the task I was being asked to do, with your help and little tips I will learn and build my own knowledge over time.
