Will these amp modifications change the sound of my guitar amplifier?
I have a small Fender Mini Twin Amp. It’s more like a toy than an actual guitar amp but I sometimes bring it to school and other places so I could jam on the spot.

I took out the back cover and took out the battery compartment. Instead of laying snug in the compartment, the 9 volt battery will be loose but theoretically allows for an open back/closed back hybrid tone.
I also took off the back and covered the interior facing side with pennies, which should make the amp louder. My last modification was that I mounted a con-caved porcelain plate in the center of the interior facing back so it could direct the sound forward. All this was inspired by the design of resonator guitars.
How would these modifications change my sound? I can’t really do a side by side comparison so your opinions are highly appreciated.
Impossible to tell how this will affect the sound. I have a hard time seeing that it would make the amp any louder (perhaps marginally). Amp and speaker design is quite different from the acoustic properties of the resonator guitar design.
But hey, what do I know. I sure haven’t tried this out for myself … or heard of anyone else having tested it for that matter.
My guess is that this amp will be sadly underpowered in a jamming situation with other amplified instruments. With a drummer, you can simply forget it. Like you said yourself, it is closer to a toy. It is designed for bedroom practice.
