Building the "Blue Thing" a 1W Micro Bassman Amp
This project started when an old EICO Model 320 signal generator was brought to my workshop. The owner had bought it decades ago at a flea market as a cool piece of vintage electronics, always keeping in mind that its chassis could suit a guitar amplifier. The generator housing is only 10x8x5 inches just enough to fit a Fender Champ-style amp. However, I had already built a nice Fender Champ clone for this client, so I started looking for something more advanced yet compact. A long discovery led me to Rob Robinette’s amazing Fender Bassman Micro project. That is how the "Blue Thing" was born.
