I also put this circuit together this afternoon Attachment : image.png That does "what it says on the tin" too - I've just plugged it in front of my little 5w valvey amp. I'm half tempted to f...

How does it sound so far? It's a real lo-fi, low-wattage, basic amp! The controls are Grit, Gain, Tone and Volume. Tone doesn't do a lot, it's mainly about how dirty you want the sound to be! Ridic...

@tv101 Simply awesome! How does it sound so far?

Next job is to make a pretty little box for the amp. For the last one, I had some off cuts of thin mahogany lying around which was *almost* wide enough - hence the centre strip! Attachment : 20200...

I should probably check whether it works though ... Well, it didn't work. 😣 😡 😥 😪 So, time to rip it to pieces, and start again. Except ... I'll just poke around ...

1k is denoted by brown-black-red-brown. 10k is denoted by brown-black-orange-brown. Usually the last last ring on a resistor (usually slightly distance separated) is a tolerance band (although some...

I should probably check whether it works though ... @tv101 Yeah plug it in and turn it up. 🤘😝🤘🎸

Cheers guys @Russ @Boo I love having a little workshop, with lots of odd bits & pieces, where I can just disappear for an hour or so and make things! Very relaxing and satisfying. I should proba...
