The goal of this project was to build a guitar amp along with a filter to single out a specific string of an electric guitar. The specific string this project focuses on is string G (196Hz). A Chebyshev filter is used to single out the G string while a simple op amp and other passive components are used for the amplifier.

Amplifier Parts

22K 1/4W Resistor
10µF 25V Electrolytic Capacitor
100nF 63V Polyester or Ceramic Capacitor
220µF 25V Electrolytic Capacitor
TDA7052 Audio power amplifier IC
6.3mm Stereo Jack sockets
8 Ohm Loudspeaker
9V PP3 Battery or 3V Battery

Step 2: Building the Amplifier

The amplifier involves following a simple schematic as seen from the picture. Only one jack is necessary, the other is optional. Pin 1 holds the connection between the battery and C2/C3. C1 and R1 should connect to pin 2 of the IC. Pins 3 and 6 should be connected to ground. Pins 5 and 8 are connected to the jack. From the jack, the speaker is connected.

Here is a video of the amplifier at work:

Step 3: Building the Filter

The filter design is a little more compleicated than the amplifier but still easy enough to construct on a breadboard. Here is a link to the OP 37 pin out chart: http://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-document...

Here is an example of a single op amp connection on a breadboard: https://circuits.io/circuits/4756866-filter

Above is also an example of the frequency you should expect if you measure the frequency response.

An ideal circuit was made using a free program, QUCS, a bode plot was created from that and is shown above.
