Noisy cricket PDF at the bottom.  Also a nice single sided pcb with board mounted pots.

No but runoff groove has an article on adding a headphone jack to the ruby amp that will accomplish the same thing.

let me know how yours turned out. i built one and it sounds like a blown speaker.
let me just say that this bitch really neded to be breadboarded. i would also make a ground lug for the chasis mine was looking ugly when it was done. next time im going to take a 2" chunk of 14 gauge  copper
and bend it like this ______________
                        _ l                      l_ screw it down to the chasis with 2 screws.
lots of bs going on with the grounds, with this you got a place to simply hook it and shoot it.

Will do, did you use the radio Shack board or Vero? I really just want it to test pedals, right now I use my ipod touch with an irig, but that's just a hassle really.

Hey man.  I was going through my parts bin and found this. 

(http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb321/bitracer/Snapbucket/554A0569_zps5e5693b0.jpg)

It's a noisy cricket I etched some time back.  The one with board mounted pots and switches. Not quite perfect, but totally useable etch.  PM me if you want it.   I even tinned it.  You just have to drill it and its good to go.

Mailed today... And guys if you are having fun with solid state amps check out "Ruby" over at runoffgroove.  Really simple and decent sounding.
