DIY Wood Amp

This is quite a unique looking amp. It was built using a kit from Chipamp.com, There aren’t very many wood amps around… Hopefully heat isn’t a problem 🙂 I would hate to see the outcome if it was.

Chipamp.com has some simple to build DIY audio amp kits. This one is a their LM4780 Dual Mono Kit. This is what you get in the kit:
