DIY Class-D poweramp projects using ICEpower 50ASX2BTL?

[PBWilson1970]

I'm looking to build a portable, pedalboard-mounted Class D poweramp project for myself and I was wondering if anyone had used a Class D module to do so.

The Seymour Duncan Powerstage 170 uses an ICEpower 50ASX2BTL module and I was wondering how easy it would be to create a pedal-sized amp to go with different preamp pedals and circuits that I've built (or are in the works). I wouldn't need the preamp that the SD uses, just the power.

I'm a paint-by numbers diy-er who has made dozens of pedal projects following layouts and schematics. I know these power modules are often used as hi-fi stereo poweramps and figured that wiring one up with an on/off switch, LED indicator, 1/4" input jack to connect with a preamp, 1/4" output jack to go to a speaker cab and an IEC power cord jack could work.

Here is a link to the module: https://www.parts-express.com/ICEpower- ... 0W-326-214

Here's a link to the module datasheet: https://www.parts-express.com/pedocs/ma ... -sheet.pdf

Is this do-able?

It is definitely doable. It even provides a ±25V power auxiliary power supply for the preamp. BUT one has to follow the safety regulations and the datasheet to the letter.

Be VERY careful - this type of directly-connected-to-the-mains modules makes very easy to kill yourself and/or others .

Based on your self description, I'd say it's much safer to switch to a module that can be used with a wall wart.

That might be wise. I agree.
