VH-ONE - ¼Watt High-Gain Amp Schematic
Build your own VH-ONE, a tiny high-gain guitar amp built around two LM386 amplifier ICs and powered by a 9V supply.
This downloadable schematic shows how the circuit fits together, with a parts list to help you gather everything you need for the build.
The VH-ONE uses a simple, compact circuit to deliver a surprisingly impressive classic high-gain sound, with the output connecting directly to a suitable 8–16Ω speaker cabinet.
What's included:
-
VH-ONE circuit schematic
-
Parts list
The schematic is designed to be used alongside my VH-ONE build video, where I walk through the circuit, show how the components connect, and demonstrate the finished amp.
This is a fun DIY electronics project for guitar players and builders who enjoy experimenting with circuits and making their own gear.
It's a really straightforward build that doesn't take much time or many parts, making it a great little project to get stuck into. I hope you enjoy building your own VH-ONE, and thanks so much for supporting my work and helping me keep these projects coming!
