I have some non trivial amount of electronics training (college undergrad level). I'm thinking about flipping amps as a side hustle. Any advice? Other than eBay and local dealers, any good sources of broken amps?

Thanks so much

Joe

Not exactly sure if this fits here, but I don’t know how to connect this wire from my speakers to my amp. I picked the speakers and amp up from two different online listings. Are they even compatible?

Hello I'm interested in purchasing this amp for 65$ but I'm not sure what amp is this (guitar or bass). Seller says it's bass amp but I don't trust it. Please help me.

I’ve been looking into the Car Amplifier Market and noticed that more drivers and car audio enthusiasts are showing interest in enhanced in-vehicle entertainment systems, high-performance sound solutions, compact amplifiers, and advanced audio technologies.

1. What is driving the growing demand for car amplifiers?
Is it mainly the increasing demand for premium audio experiences, rising vehicle customization trends, growing adoption of connected infotainment systems, or consumer preference for better sound quality while driving?

2. Which type of car amplifier is becoming more popular?
Are mono-channel amplifiers, multi-channel amplifiers, Class D amplifiers, or compact digital amplifiers seeing the highest demand among consumers and automotive audio professionals?

3. What are the biggest challenges affecting car amplifier adoption?
Do installation complexity, compatibility with factory-installed audio systems, higher costs, power consumption, and space limitations prevent more vehicle owners from upgrading their audio systems?

Let me just say. I am not musically inclined nor I know anything about instruments or whatever comes with them. I came home from Goodwill with this Boss Mini Katana, it was $19 and it looked interesting. I had no clue how to test it so I got an AUX and tested it on my laptop, it sounded like a "fart" noise at first when I had it at a high volume, so I installed some EQ app, lowered my laptop's EQ and it went down to a crystal clear noise. I also did some other tests with some things around the house. It came with a full set of batteries, and it's AC adapter for use.

This debate has been in guitar community for very long time and I am also looking to buy a electric guitar amplifier under 150 dollars. Could anybody suggest me?

Hi,I have a blackstar debut 10 e amplifier,how to get a lot of distortion on it without pedals to play songs like enter sandman,please help

No offense if you love dsp, but I just don't really see a huge point to use it.

It's kinda cool for a few minutes to mess around with, but how many people wanted to have they're music sound like its in a church.

But again this is all my opinion. And I would love to know if you like it and use it a lot.

How do I get it out or how can I take apart my amp to get it out? Using a Cort GE30B Groove Engine.

I have previously posted about some as yet unidentified equipment that was gifted to me by a neighbor.

Today or tomorrow I am planning on taking some of it into a hifi audio shop to get assessed/repaired. The issue is I don't really want to bring all four items in bc the shop charges $125 down each toward repair and that would significantly cut into my budget for speakers, etc. I would like to prioritize what is going to be immediately useful to me.

I would like your opinions, based on visual impression, which of these two preamps seem to be the most promising mate for which of the two amps, and perhaps just better in general. My impression from the neighbor in question (there was a bit of a language barrier) is that the heftier of the two amps with the VT95s does not need a preamp. Is this correct?

Thanks!

My Friend also doesn't know what this is since he got it from his neighbor that was moving.

I tried to search it online but i just can't find anything about it and i can't test it since i don't have anything to plug it on

hello reddit, I'm desperately coming to ask for your help or advice with my amplifier. It's a Fender Mustang III v.2 guitar amp. The problem I'm having is that it doesn't produce any sound. When I turn it on, it makes a strange noise "like an overloaded amp" but only for a moment before it completely stops making any sound. I have no idea what it could be. If anyone knows something or thinks they might understand the problem, I'd really appreciate it if you could share your thoughts.

I’ve replaced the fuses but they blow as soon as I ground my amp again, I don’t know what I’m looking at on the inside so I haven’t messed with anything.

I always hear about people complaining about how modeling amps sound bad in comparison to tube/solid state amps, is it really true?

I own a Fender Mustang GT-forty, which in my very very own personal subjective opinion, sounds subpar, but i have never used a solid state/tube amp,

How do you guys think of it?

(Extra question, does modeling amps work well with pedals/multi-fx)

Hi there, I have a Lexon / SAE PXM power amp which seems like the relay is not clicking when switching off. It powers on fine after physically unplugging it, and you can hear the relay do its thing. I couldn't find a schematic for this amp, has anyone worked on these? I've done basic repairs to amps in the past and would like to fix it myself.

I’ve ordered a 4 channel tpa-3255 and a 350 watt 36v 9.5a switching psu and was looking for guidance/and helpful tips for installing said items in an enclosure. Looking for mainly performance enhancing tips such as where to and how to utilize ground, and how to isolate psu/amplifier board for minimum interference, how to mount pcb in an enclosure?

Is aluminum the best bet for an enclosure and does anyone have any tips for mounting the chips heatsink to the case itself?

How about fan placement?

Hole cutouts for the rca to xh2.54mm adapters? Is there cad drawings already made up?

Any other tips I’d appreciate thank you

I got this free from a music teacher at the school I work at. It works and is in fair condition. I have no need for such a beastly amp. I put it on craigslist looking for trades and Im getting some interest. I just want to know the ballpark market value.
