Cool project and excellent execution! I'll admit that I had no idea what it was supposed to be before I read the comment section though! Really makes me excited to try my own soldering projects soon, I love the warm analog look of this.
Hi Mike - sorry that you feel disappointed...the aim of the project was to make the humble LM386 amp IC circuit into something that looks as cool as a vacuum tube...I am afraid I don't have a skills to make a vacuum tube.
Dude that's an awesome amp, I like that the 9 volt battery is inserted like a cartridge and of course the spice bottle tube is the icing on the cake :D
Thanks Luis, my whole concept was based around the beuty inside electrical equipment, bringing it out so we can see it, definitely makes for an interesting object.
Prickly sauce a real tube is much more pretty. we can literally see the electrons dancing in the vacuum. I give you thumbs up for the effort. congratulations
Cool project, but there is just 1 thing I dont understand. What does the feedback from the lm386's output to pin 8 do? (The bit you highlighted in your circuit) is it like a bass boost, or something similar?
123maarten123 having to think back, made the project quite a long time ago and a beginner at electronics...seem to remember that there was a bass boast option to the circuit. Worth checking out Hack A Day video for the original amp build, mine was based on it. Link should be in the description
Thanks Snaprollinpitts - I was trying to play with a story line of the 'pricklysauce' spice jar being used and then becoming the 'tube' ...fun to make though does mean the 'reveal' is near the end. Thanks for the sub, just finishing three projects that will be coming out over the next few weeks, I hope you enjoy them.
Duuuuuuuuude😲 What in the hell just happened to me? My mind is absolutely boggled🤯 right now. This is one of the BEST put together videos in all regards that I have ever seen. Wow brother! You have got a pile of creativity about you! I dont know what else to say... Project: Super cool. Video experience: BADASS!! Revolutionary for the content "type" and "venue"....... ....I need a cigarette. Thanks, Man!
That is SO cute. I usa an underpowered vintage light bulb as a night light. This gives me another idea for a simple night light, plus, I have dozens of little class D amps laying around if I wanted to make it useful. Neat project! Thanks for sharing!
Where would be a good place to learn how to understand this circuit? I'm interested in electronics, but really am stumped on learning how each component modifys the signal and how amplification works. Awesome project, I'll be making one soon!
Great idea to use an LM386. It is a general purpose power amplifier chip. It has a good range for music and even make a small guitar amp out of it. Your circuit is the downside of it. See you could have built it on a small board. You may eventually be looking at cold soldering. Should you amp act weird one day, simply redo your soldering. the second downside to your amp is the 3 LEDS, you can drive leds between 8 and 20 milliamps. I suggest you use the proper resistor to run your LEDS at 10 milliamps. You will avoid draining your battery too fast., unless you use a rechargeable battery. Other than those 2 points, i like your project. i give it a 7 out of 10.
I think they were these ones www.bitsbox.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=252&products_id=1894&zenid=qm7cml2l9e40clnle9bq3eogp2 - Thanks for your support
Put a preamplifier buffer to match the high impedance of a guitar's output infront of this circuit and it will make a cool little practice amp for guitarists.
Components in a spice jar...It was a homage to the aesthetic beauty of a tube amp, unfortunately not the real thing...maybe one day I will learn enough electronics to play with the big boys...Big thanks
Okay, so now i've built it, but the volume knob doesn't seem to act as a volume knob. The sound just goes bad at a certain resistance. Should I expect it to work like a typical volume knob? Trying to troubleshoot my issue with no luck so far.
Hi Atomicus, well done for building one. Yes the potentionemeter should work as a volume knob, the sound may become distorted at the top end, the LM386 chip is only a 0.25 watt amp IC. I guess try to make sure that all of the solder joints are good. I am afraid I am new to electronics so I don't have a great deal of experience. Maybe there are others out there with more electronics experience who may be able to make some suggestions...any one?
I'm also new to electronics. Thanks for the video and helping get me into electronics. I made a short video. You can see that the device plays loud when the source is increased, but the pot just... well, you'll see. th-cam.com/video/Md9N9A4c9Hs/w-d-xo.html
only the insulated wires touch the bolt and spring scaffolding. sure care needs to be taken that none of the bare wires or components touch the metal. The glass jar then protects the circuit from being touched and shorting against the metal.
Very nice, although soldering directly to the IC pins... I understand why you did it but the very small part of me familiar with electronics was crying. Still, impressed with your DIY skills, subscribed.
Hey thanks for subscribing Gareth...sure soldering directly to an IC can easily burn it out and I would usually use a carrier for more straight forward electronics projects...though if you are careful you can get away with it.
I guess the low component count means if you burn the IC out it's not a big deal. Would this circuit work as a headphone amp with decent bass response?
It should work well for some headphones...in fact it is a project that I have planned as a follow on to the headphone ear defenders that I made...check out Hack a week page that this schematic was based on and Dino has a bass boost option that may help you hackaweek.com/hacks/?p=131
Hey man, i just want to ask you about the voltage range of the electrolytics capacitors, i dont know if capacitors voltage i have is the appropriate in order to not overcharge the circuit (just 16 volt for the 220uf capacitor) is that ok? I clicked in all the links you left in the descriptions, especially in the instructable one but i cant find them.
Hi Pepeppe, I have to admit I am still learning electronics and I am a bit of a plug and play on circuits. the amp I built was based on Hack A Week LM386 amp hackaweek.com/hacks/?p=131 . I have just checked the capacitors on the amp I built and they are 16v so you should be okay. I buy mine from Bitsbox www.bitsbox.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=65_66_68&products_id=264&zenid=q17n4r0kc8icga1mqnoi8ph6u5 .I would advise that you bread board the circuit to test it prior to soldering, gives you a chance to try other voltage type capacitors. All the best for your build.
As in a 1/4inch guitar input and 3.5mm jack? Sure, it will work, I have done similar on other little amps with the LM386, though never have had two inputs working at the same time into the amp, guess that should work as well.
Yes sir 2 input, for example from a mic and a guitar. I have made me a DIY I-rig for my phone. And I would like to record Vocals and guitar at the same time. You think it would work? I was thinking of putting 2 input jack both with a potentiometer on the input pin. hehe. Im a nurse by the way but this has been a hobby, and was thinking to get crash courses on electronics. thanks sir.
Yes I guess it should work, though be aware that the LM386 is only a little 0.25watt amp and you may need a better quality amp set up if you are going to try recording , though beyond my scope of experience. Probably best to breadboard up to test first to see if it works for you.
I am trying to build my own 12au7 headphone amp but am not having much luck as it doesn't function correctly. I followed a schematic, would you be able to help me?
Hi Essential...I have to admit that I am a novice at electronics only working on the 'plug and play' level. From my experience of following schematics is to test the circuit on a bread board to check that it is working prior to soldering. I have found that sometimes I get confused in the right order of components when soldering and that I often have to go back to double and triple check that everything is wired as the schematic shows. Maybe others may be able to comment on the best way for you to test your circuit to identify where your problem is. All the best and I hope that you succeed in making it work.
Very nice project ! And such a great tribu te to the vacuum tube amplifiers ;) I saw it on the "amps & speakers contest" on instructables. How do you manage to made the "play it loud" plate ? It´s aluminium or iron ? It's an oxydation or an electrolysis process ?
Thanks Floorganik, I'm really please how it turned out and glad you like it too. The metal is 1mm thick steel sheet. The etching process literally burns 'etches' into the metal, the salt solution helps to make this happen. I had to learn this technique for this project from watching some TH-cam tutorials. Take a look at the Instructables step by step for this project as I give more details there, or wait for my next video that is dedicated to the etching of this plate...why not subscribe and then you won't miss it!
+Prickly sauce hi, Thanks for your answer. I read the step about etching process and it's more clear for me know. I following you on instructables and I suscribe to your youtube channel. So I look foward to your next video about etching ;)
Sure it works with an electric guitar though it is a small 0.25watt amp and so wont produce a great deal of noise, though would be good for practice. Adapt it with a guitar jack instead of the headphone jacks for electric guitars.
The LM386 ic op amp chip is only 0.25 watts, one-piece there is a 1.0 watt version available. I guess if you want more power there must be amp schematics available online. then build it into a jar that will fit, may need a jam jar if there are more components. let me know how you get on.
Prickly sauce ok thanks man, how did you decide to do this build? Im saving some cash so i can try it out. Is there a place online with what i will need and instuctions?
Cool that you are going to make one - check out my Instructables on a step by step on how to build www.instructables.com/id/LM386-Tube-Amp-homage/ and also check out the Hack a Week project page for the circuit which is where I learnt to build the LM386 amp hackaweek.com/hacks/?p=131
I love it. Simple and awesome. RetroFeelingWhatElse! I had the same idea last year (more or less). I built a very cheap soundgenerator (just for fun) a few months ago ... with glastubes and LED's in it .... but this THING ... with the 386'amp! .... looks great. I have to copy that ;-) no, i'm joking. Thx for your impression. thumps up!
Ok, I like it, I get it ... trolling the audio snobs with a 45-year-old, 6 cent IC ... I am fine with this. But who, aside from a dozen people, will ever appreciate what you are doing here?
Thanks Taylor...I like your term 'dead bug'...you have to be really careful when 'dead bugging' the chip, I broke off a pin with my first attempt, though it needed to be flattened to fit within the glass jar.
Raphael Cardoso totally...that is what I thought you meant...I wanted it to be as good to look at when not in use, which unfortunately is most of the time
@@Pricklysauce as an electronics engineer, I feel that most of my projects suck in the "presentation" aspect, you know? Maybe I should try to design something pretty for a change
Thanks for sticking with it...I'm learning and trying to add a story to my videos beyond just being a tutorial. Just like the amp, I wanted the video to go to unexpected places.
Hi Raphael - I'm sorry if you feel you were misled, I specifically added the word 'Homage' to indicate that the project is reverring tube amps and try not to mislead anyone. I hope that it wasn't a complete waste of time for you.
Thanks Melting Batteries...one day my electronic skills may be good enough to play with the real thing, Vacuum tubes do look really cool and this project was a nod to their beauty
Probably, no scratch that, the best example of an LM386 amp build I've ever seen. Hats off. A+ for creativity.
Thanks Cali
Thank you to all that voted for this project at Instructables, just won a first prize. Fantastic!
Cool project and excellent execution! I'll admit that I had no idea what it was supposed to be before I read the comment section though! Really makes me excited to try my own soldering projects soon, I love the warm analog look of this.
Thanks Garrett, just a cool little thing that is actually better to look at than its audio output!
Besides the entertaining step-by-step build, I cannot stop feeling some disappointment because of that fake _tube_ ...
Hi Mike - sorry that you feel disappointed...the aim of the project was to make the humble LM386 amp IC circuit into something that looks as cool as a vacuum tube...I am afraid I don't have a skills to make a vacuum tube.
Don't worry, I gave a thumbs up anyways! ;)
Thanks Mike, though i really appreciate any feedback as it makes me think and I hope will make my projects and filming better in the future
Dude that's an awesome amp, I like that the 9 volt battery is inserted like a cartridge and of course the spice bottle tube is the icing on the cake :D
Thanks Luis, my whole concept was based around the beuty inside electrical equipment, bringing it out so we can see it, definitely makes for an interesting object.
That it does, looking forward for the next Prickly sauce project.
Prickly sauce a real tube is much more pretty. we can literally see the electrons dancing in the vacuum. I give you thumbs up for the effort. congratulations
And the the Prickly sauce-Stamp on the envelope is the cherry on the icing on the cake :D
José Dourado I was thinking the same thing, but the are also a great deal more challenging. high voltage is scary stuff

yeah, it functions as a bass boost.
the whole time you're making it, I'm thinking."where is the tube". only to see the tube at the end, very ingenious, a thumbs up and a sub from me!!!

Thanks Chad...just a fun little project that is good to look at
You replied to everyone! That's another example of a good human being! I have amp only. No tube no multiplex board cabinet! not even a dremel!
Great and cool looking project and well edited video!
👏 INCREDIBLE 👌 WHICH TYPE OF LED IS USED ❓

Ok fine, i already have this type of LEDs
Super job. Looks beautiful.
Yeah I really like just looking at it, though it sounds pretty good as well, just not quite as tonally rich as a real tube amp!
it would be a lot more tonally rich if you weren't filtering all the bass away with your circuit lol
Damn ! Its awesome man,make your trademark company
Put a preamplifier buffer to match the high impedance of a guitar's output infront of this circuit and it will make a cool little practice amp for guitarists.
cool...that sounds excellent
man you are 1 skilled MTF !!!! Man I wish I had your talent!
Great projest. Is it really a tube amp or did you put solid state components in a glass jar?

isn't there some shortcuts beacause of a screw and components without a perfboard?

Cool idea - is a homage to the LM386 or to tube amps or both though? Extra idea - silver the top of the jar somehow to represent the getter.
Needed a LM386 amp for electronics stuff and just wanted something funky to look at when not in use, definitely a homage to the mighty tube amp!
Very nice work !!!

Am i the only one actually disappointed that its not a real tube amp?
guess so, though it looks as good!
