Don't just beat the load-shedding blues... play them! Damn, this thing just looks soo cool in the old projector box - I want!
I built this great-looking (and sounding) battery-driven guitar amp in just a few hours after work last week. It’s 2.5 watts of solid-state fury, housed in the top half of a vintage Fifties film projector case. It’s loud enough for busking and for living rooms and does great in the recording studio

so is it JUST ME??? or does this article not actually SAY ANYTHING about the ACTUAL AMP CIRCUIT?

The engine behind this amp is a simple 2.5-watt cigar box amplifier kit ($38 at CBGitty.com) along with an optional second 3-inch speaker ($9, also at CBGitty.com). Note: definitely opt for the second speaker. It increases volume output significantly.

Likely!
I'm even lazier than that - At around 10USD on AliEXpress you can find Class D mono amps, just connect power, input, speaker and it's ready to rock. I've heard one similar to this and it was good though hif speaker and through guitar speaker (even took to overdrive pedals well). Oh...it would also run off 9V power (next step was to test off 5.4v cell style powerbank)
