Schematic
Here are the parts lists for a
complete 18 Watt SuperLite PCB amplifier. This
includes just about everything you will need to build
a SuperLite from scratch. You will need some
600V rated hookup wire, screws, nuts
and solder. Aside from that, it should be
in the list.
We created two file formats for you,
Excel and PDF. We created PDF versions for
those of you that can't open Excel
spreadsheets. Although, the spreadsheet
contains hyperlinks to make ordering the parts a
snap.

This manual details how to build
the SuperLite II amplifier.

Manual, you can refer to a photo collection of

Faceplates
We have created a variety of
faceplates to suit your design needs. All of
these faceplates are consistent with thier
respective chassis
layouts. These are all formatted for 11x17
inch paper.
We recommend BNP
Lasers for a high quality laser engraved
finish. We have worked together to create high
quality artwork for these faceplates. When
placing an order, refer
to GuitarAmplifierPCBs.com. BNP
Lasers already has this artwork in their
computers ready to may your
faceplates.
We recommend the Gloss Gold
(922710) plate material, Reverse Etched, with a
Black backfill. The estimated price for two
faceplates is $45 + S/H.
BNPLasers part numbers:
GA-SL-FRONT-00 (SuperLite PCB Front
Faceplate)
GA-SL-REAR-00 (SuperLite PCB Rear
Faceplate)
Each faceplate costs
$22.40
Here's what the front faceplate looks
like.
And here's the back.
Just in case, here are the
files.
Another option is to take the
electronic PDF file(s) to a printing company, like
Kinkos, and have them print your faceplate on the
card stock of your choice.
Make certain the faceplate is printed to
scale. The image can not be scaled or "fit to
size" for the graphics to align with the
component holes in the chassis layout.
Of course you can print these out
yourself with your own printer. Be aware!
Most printers do not generate prints exactly to
scale. Test your printer by printing a layout
drawing and checking the scale of the layout with a
ruler. If the scale is OK, then you can print
with assurance that your holes will line up with the
faceplate.
