Here’s the amp setup I played with yesterday afternoon:
Joyo AC-Tone Preamp pedal, Lepai LP2020+ power amp, And old bookshelf speakers. On the right, the instrument box I plan to House them in.
Things to notice:
It sounded a lot louder when I had my phone plugged into it than when I had my guitar plugged into it. I’m not sure if this is a bug or a feature, especially since I can boost the volume from the Preamp.
There is so much that’s inconvenient with the I/O on the back of the pedal that I’m not sure what to do.
Input is either a 1/8” plug or two RCA plugs. I used the 1/8” with an adaptor.
More pressing is the speaker outputs: I really want to be able to bridge the two so I can just use one speaker (space is everything), but I’m not sure how viable that option is.
There is no line out on the power amp, but John from Minstrel Music said that should be easy enough to create.
More pressingly, the “all on the back” approach makes it all more than a bit inconvenient to plug in the power adapter. And it looks like I’ll have to abandon the plans to make it battery powered.
