MAKE: My Day at Amp Camp

A couple of weeks ago, MAKE photographer Gregory Hayes, designer Michael Silva, O’Reilly Web Producer Tony Quartarolo, and Jake Spurlock attended Amp Camp, just up the road from the O’Reilly offices in Sebastopol California. What’s Amp Camp? Glad you asked. A few years ago, Dana Brock held Speaker Camp, where 20 or so friends hung out in his workshop for a day and built speaker enclosures. Building on the success of that, he and Nelson Pass decided to do it again and have a day, in the middle of the wine country, to build amplifiers.

BurningAmp.org holds first Amp Camp June 30th, 2012

This year Burning Amp organizers have created “Amp Camp 2012″ to help novice DIY builders make their very own Class A amps with all the hand-holding needed to create a working unit. Following on the successful model of Speaker Camp several years ago, the event takes the important step of getting people out of the blogs and magazines and into a hands-on environment. Nelson Pass has designed this special mono-block just for the event and will attend to ensure all goes well. Please visit www.DIYaudio.com for more information and parts.

  • AMP CAMP by Nelson Pass – Instructions. Written in anticipation of the first Amp Camp event, and I expect a few surprises and a lot of happy faces, my birthday present to myself. Remember, the whole idea is for you first-timers to get your feet wet in the shallow end of the pool.  Put on some sun screen, and come on in.
    The water’s fine.
