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.

Build Manual
This manual details how to build the SuperLite II amplifier.

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.
