Amplifier Design
Hey guys, I'm completely new to any kind of electronics design, however I learn pretty quickly. I've been researching all over google to try and find some kind of resource for amp design, but all I've found is schematics, and to tell y'all the truth it's all greek to me. I'd like to design a cheap-to-build amp for my guitar. I've found many schematics pertaining to that, but there's nothing like that feeling of building something of your on design ya know? I know there's a hell of alot of math involved, but I took precalc in high school and got a b so i'm not to worried about that lol. Also, from my understanding, though i could be completely wrong, is that it's easier to design a circuit around an opamp than a transistor, but i also think that its harder to find high power opamps, though i could be completely wrong on that as well. also, whats the deal with MOSFETS? Those are completely way over my head lol.
anyways, if you guys could help at all that would be great. Thanks! and looking forward to hearing your responses soon!
Cheers
