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.

I mod cheap guitars because my local music store said not to.

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



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.

pedalman

i will take it if jimmi dont want it. let me know. you have the build report for it ?
