Game Boy Color Wire Free Audio Amplifier - Cloud Game Store

This piece was designed very well, it lines up perfectly and was easy for a novice/intermediate solder-er to accommodate. Paired with a new speaker from HHL, the GBC's sound is noticeably louder than stock. I'd suggest HHL remove the image showing the highlighted capacitor; if it werent for the 'question' being asked on the product page I would have been a little lost to that image's purpose.

I'm very happy about this now my Gameboy color can finally be a bit louder if anyone see this they should buy one seems easy to add

TL/DR: Perfect amplifier if better than stock sound and ease of installation are your goals.

I've installed this on a Gameboy Color that I've been repairing. I've also used the RetroSix CleanAmp v1.2 so my comparison will be between this amplifier, the CleanAmp, and the original.

In terms of installation this amplifier is far and away the easier solution. The solder points easily match up to the locations on the board they need to and it is a simple and straight forward process to get it installed.

For the audio quality it is noticeably louder than the original audio setup. It sounds good and in my opinion is loud enough for what I am wanting out of a Gameboy.

Now I have installed it along with a Funnyplaying IPS and button LED kit without yet installing any kind of power modifications so my next few statements are more than likely related to power issues due to my install rather than flaws in the amplifier itself. Having said all of that I have noticed a significant amount of hum and buzz from the speaker even when it is at minimum volume. It also doesn't seem to be as loud as the CleanAmp amplifier. But again I want to say that I haven't yet installed and upgrades for power which I feel would fix both of those issues.
I will hopefully remember to update this review after I get a power solution installed and see how that affects the audio.

I recently bought and installed one of these on a GBC I modded with a backlit screen. I put in a FP 1W speaker with this amp and after I turned it on I was blown away by how much louder the device was, about 2-3x original sound with OEM speaker. The seller was very quick to ship and everything came nicely packaged. I bought these and then was so pleased with the seller I came back to purchase other additional items like screen protectors. For future mods will definitely be checking out what this seller has to offer.

I think it would be nice if this would had a quick connect install on the amp for an easy speaker swap.

If for some reason your audio is lower than normal at full volume this is a reasonably easy install and works well. However, if like myself, there is no issue with your audio this doesn't provide any added volume or definition. It requires some pretty simple pin soldering so it might be an excellent practice mod if you are working up to more complex via or IC pin soldering. Moreover, it doesn't require the removal of any thing other than the stock speaker which could be easily undone if you burn the flexi pcb or something on your first attempt. It's also cheap so if you fail at least you've learned what not to do next time without breaking the bank.
