If you"ve been looking for a great, custom and affordable Cigar Box Amplifier to go with your Cigar Box Guitar, then look no further!These great little amps are hand-crafted in the U.S.A. in C. B. Gitty"s workshop. Their heart is an Artec SDA-T 2.5W amp board, which is powered by a 9V battery. The amp accepts a standard 1/4" mono guitar/amp cord as input, and output is through a 3.5" 1W speaker. A red LED power indicator is included to help prevent accidental battery drain. These little amps put out a very respectable sound (especially with the gain cranked all the way up), and in our opinion are much superior to the smaller half-watt and one-watt amps!The dimensions of this amp are: 6 1/2" wide x 6" high x 4 1/8" deep. The box is a beautiful, STURDY hardwood Acid brand box (delabeled), with a chrome wire speaker over a copper grill, chrome "hog nose" knobs, and other great features.This amp is one of C. B. Gitty"s "custom" models, where each amp is unique in design. Each of these custom amps is designed and signed by C. B. Gitty himself, so you know you are getting a great item! They are built in C. B. Gitty"s workshop halfway between the White Mountains and the seacoast of New Hampshire, either by C. B. himself or one of his highly skilled helpers.C. B. Gitty selects the nicest, most suitable smaller cigar boxes as his amp cases, and then dresses them up with all sorts of great features, such as those seen in this amp:· Beautiful hardwood Acid-brand cigar box· Decorative 2-level chrome wire speaker cover over a copper screen· Chrome input jack· Distinctive chrome "hog nose" volume and tone/gain knobs· Externally-Accessible 9V Battery Tray - no need to open the box!· Nice nickel-plated carrying handle· Power indicator red LED in black plastic bezel
