Title:

15 Watt Solid State Guitar Combo Amplifier

The purpose of this project was to design, build, and test a 15 Watt RMS Solid State combination guitar amplifier that operates with a load of 8 ohms. The finished product allows the user to connect either an electric guitar or bass into a single, portable enclosure that houses an amplifier and speaker with a variety of user operated controls as well as a clean channel and distortion channel. A guitar amplifier is used to project or amplify the sound created by a guitar at a much higher volume such that the user may be able to perform in various locations. An amplifier is necessary for electric guitars because do not emit sounds like an acoustic guitar on their own. Typical guitar amplifiers have volume, gain, and equalization controls and exist in three common unique types, solid state, tube or a combination of the two. Only solid state components were used for this project for their ease of design, reliability, cost effectiveness, and user friendliness. The end result was a working, finished product that met the specifications proposed.
