Step 5Final assembly and thoughts
Connect all wires to their controls and add knobs for the pots.
Screw the back on and set it in the sun
Audio sample - Setup: Karma K-Micro mic into Griffin GarageBand Cables into Griffin iMic into GarageBand and a Michael Kelly Hourglass Tribal Sun guitar plugged into the amp
It's pretty gloomy out today so the amp tends to get a little bitey. The first part of the sample is Gain 20% and Vol 80% last part is Gain 100% Vol 80%
Final Project thoughts:
The swivel, while a neat idea in theory didn't add anything to the project except cost. There is very minimal power gain gotten through tilting the panels from straight up to facing the sun.
There is no preamp on this project and while it sounds OK, it could sound better.
I am a little worried about the power if I add a compressor for the bass version that will be the companion to this amp. I may need to add more panels and that could add unsightly bulk.
