Gear demos with tons of fuzz and the small battery powered cigar box amps I make & sell.

Katanasound Thundercloud (Japanese big muff) and Dr. J Shadow Echo, battery powered amp, 4 string cigar box guitar on this one...

Sounds pretty fantastic.

Thanks!

And another I did yesterday... JANKY0003, different speaker than #4. Out Sound Fuzz Master (Ibanez Standard Fuzz clone), and Shadow Echo on this one. This one sounds sooooo cool. So much sustain, and the Fuzz Master is crazy raw.

good stuff man. where in wisconsin are you?

Thanks! Appleton area these days.

These amps are awesome. One of those would be ideal for a casual mobile rig (among other purposes). Do you have a website?

Another thanks! I don't have a website yet. Up until this month I had just been making these type of amps out of recycled (usually multi media speaker / radio / boombox etc.) parts.

Now I'm using a standard amp unit / pot / jack / power source, and I've got a large collection I've accumulated of small high quality recycled speakers. Have parts ready for 6 more in the next week or so. 2 will have tiny @ 2.5" 25 watt Onkyo speakers, two larger boxes will have slightly larger speakers than these two, one great blue plastic-coned Sony speaker, and the other a 60 watt Panasonic driver in the same range as the two above, but louder and better low end response.

I'd be happy to trade one for a mid-price used pedal or I sell them for about $85 ppd.

That's really cool! Might very well hit you up for one of these.

Awesome, what kind of pedals are you interested in for trades?

Could really use a reverb pedal for the demos and slide blues/ punk stuff; used Hardwire RV7 or TC HoF are about the only in that $ trade range tho... Didn't dig the Boss RV5. Hardwire Delay DL8 or Valve Dist-OD (SC2 I think?). Boss RC1 / TC Ditto / Digitech Jam Man basic looper? Fuzz, Fuzz, Fuzz. Esp weird textured or "60's" style right now, could use a nice sounding Fuzz Face (I has the doom fuzz tho I would still probably trade for more haha). Overdrive, esp ones w/ a lot of character-thickness-eq control... Harmonic Perc clone so I can do Big Black cigar boxing. Boss FZ2 (the Superfuzz / boost one) or another HM2.

Hit me up with a list. I am a pedal junkie.

For your Saturday viewing 'pleasure'... Cigar box amp + dimed HM2 = grindcore chainsaw fun. Need to do this with a 'song' and drum track next time...

New batch of Janky action...


Sony speaker. Not the loudest, rattles nice w. the box and speaker grille.


Yamaha speaker. This one is probably the rawest sounding one yet. Did a youtube video but I'll do a better one tomorrow...


60 watt Panasonic beast in this one. ILF'er gnomethrone has this one now. And I have sweet sweet reverby goodness. Plus hanging out w/ ILF'er = cool and took him to local record store. My female friend said I went on a man date.


Lil' 2.5" 25 watt Onkyo in this one. Louder than you think. Cuts low bass in a cool way w/o flubbing out.


More amp & pedal demos tomorrow; Hall of Fame reverb, Seppuku OctaveDrone, Fuzzrite clone... Trying to do some noisy punk / fast rock and droney / gazey / Sonic Youthy riffs this time around...

This amp is badass. Cool breakup on its own, gets real heavy with some fuzz. Ive been sittin around trying different pedals through it since I got home. No bad sounds yet. Amp set to a little breakup with stacked reverbs is soooo good. Grindonomicon is a solid dude with some cool little amps.

You should do a smartphone video... Esp w. that Jazzmaster and some doomy / post rock riffs... Should have gotten a little footage when you were trying them out!

And, fun new demo... Reverb and OctaveDrone stacked. Get MESSY.
