The Box Amp is a $30 kit from Critter and Guitari which will turn any old cardboard box into a guitar amplifier. You’ll need some basic soldering skills but once the hot-work is done, you’ll need nothing but a craft-knife to fashion an almost infinite array of enclosures.
The Box Amp consists of electronics, jack socket, nine-volt power supply and a speaker. The box acts as both a holder and to shape the sound, and the kit can be modded to run off a nine-volt battery for busking. We like the low-fi nature, and we also like that you can stick this bundle inside all kinds of cases to change the sound, from trash cans to mahogany boxes. Plus, if you’re going to go all Pete Townshend or Jimi Hendrix and start smashing up your gear, this is a lot cheaper to replace.
