AmpoPhone

This unique upcycling project turns a classic 1960s landline telephone into a fully functional guitar amp with both character and tone. Ampophone blends nostalgic design with modern functionality, ready to serve as a portable companion for any musician.

Specifications:

– 2-Watt Internal Output: Perfect for home use, jamming, or intimate setups.

– External Speaker Support: Capable of delivering up to 10 watts when connected to a higher output speaker.

– Lo-Fi Microphone: The original mic was preserved to give a raw, vintage tone with character.

– Controls: 1 volume knob, 1 gain knob, and a power on/off switch.

– Audio-Reactive LEDs: Visually responsive LED setup that reacts to the sound.

– Dual Line Out: One high-output line (for cabs), one low-output line (ideal for recording).

– Power Options: Operates with 2 x 9V batteries or a 12V–18V adapter.

– Mic Cut-Off Function: When the handset is placed in its cradle, the mic is automatically muted. A Velcro strap allows you to secure the handset for easy portability.

Just like all of our unique designs, Ampophone was created to promote sustainability, creative reuse, and to make a meaningful addition to a musician’s life.
