always wanted a tube amp but they cost so much money. so i decided to build one (well a hybrid one) offa the beavis-audio tube cricket schematic. the tubes and JRC386 chip are from RS. all other parts from raon or e-gizmo at taft.
had problems at first because I wired the gain and volume pots the other way around (gain pot controlling the volume, and vice versa). now it's working and I can't even turn it up all the way because I might disturb the neighbors, and I just finished telling them how loud they are every night when their teleseryes come on.
butchered the speaker from my marshall ms-2, I took out the headphone and dc input jacks, and put in a new input jack wired directly to the speaker.
gets a little noisy at full volume and gain, but I guess it's because of the crappy ace hardware power supply.
