Portable guitar amp played

Ok, the audio quality should be markedly improved! Since I recently acquired a new digital camera to do these videos with. My old video camera (digital photo camera)was terrible on audio capture. I am play-testing the portable guitar amp in this video. While I am not a skilled guitar player, the idea of this video is to show off the sound quality of this amp that I built. This amplifier has no integrated circuits, it is all discrete parts. There is one FET for the input and six transistors for the rest of the circuit. The reason that I used no ICs is because the current drains of the ICs that I had available that produced 4 watts or so of power were all to high in my opinion. So I took on this project to make an amplifier battery powered that sounds good, yet waste no current. With this amplifier on breadboard, current readings with my cheap multimeter was about 4 mA with no sound with max current drain of 80 mA approximately with loud sounds outputted. This amplifier in a box is powered by a single 9 Volt battery.

Later on I hope to get a acquaintance who is a very skilled guitar player to play for a video.

wooooooow u r terrrible!!!!!!!!!!! im 10 and im better than you ive been on the radio im so good!

This video is not "about how good I can play the electric guitar." This video is to showcase how good my portable guitar amp sounds. Which by the was has no integrated circuits and is a low current draw design. The reason I built/designed this amplifier in the first place is because the available IC's all had much higher current draws than I liked.

@SomeGeekOnline your fingers may know how to play a few chords but brain is terribly lagging behind...

@SomeGeekOnline You're an idiot. Don't post stuff like that on other people's walls. Can you build something like that?

[MrSharpenis]

@SomeGeekOnline no1 gives a shit go fuck yourself

[MoonWolfSotG]

Wow, amazing, would like to build one of these soon

[jazzpsalti]

I'd like to build one of these. Do you have a schematic?

Is it true that the FETs will warm up like tubes??? And how loud can you go before this thing starts driving??

you have to be the most stuck up, snob nosed, un-modest kid ever to walk the earth, no one cares if youve been on the radio, there are plenty of talentless people on the radio, and its most likley because your dad owns the channel or something.
