Welcome

Heya folks, 

Welcome to The Ampharos Project. As described in the project info module, I plan to build a guitar amplifier by the end of summer. Let me share a little background on this project:

I study electrical engineering at the University of Memphis. I currently am a junior and will be taking my EECE (Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering) electives within the next three semesters. EECE students can fulfill these credits through typical semester classes or research projects with professors. My advisor and I share a love of guitars so we decided building a guitar amplifier would be a great summer project. And here we are!

I named the project after one of my favorite childhood characters, the (fittingly) electric-type Pokemon, Ampharos. He's basically a bipedal-electric-Pharoh-lighthouse-sheep.

Epic.

I will be posting my thoughts, analysis, diagrams, pictures, and circuits to document my first major electronics project. I have little to no experience in electronics so I imagine the road will be bumpy. That being said, if you have input or suggestions, please comment and share your thoughts.

Thanks for reading!
-Mark
