It plays clean but pretty modest volume straight in, but with a pedal as a preamp you get both a boost in volume and the effect of the pedal.

Can't get them here in Canada reliably either. I am just using pine boards glued and screwed with black drywall screws. Looks rustic yet finished at the same time.

<p>Thanks for the nudge, I had one of these for a while and finally finished it. Two small Dell computer speakers with guitar jack and aux port. Sounds good, and (sadly) the speakers stay clean all the way to full volume - which is a fairly modest bedroom level - unless an effects pedal is used.…</p>

<p>That is a good idea. For this build want to keep it as simple as possible and was hoping to use the power supply i already have since I am still very new to all of this. If this one is successful i am going to attempt to use the tube preamp on my next one since I think that will give me more of the sound i am going for. When start that build I may have questions for you. Thanks</p>

<p>are you talking about combining the 2 outputs of the preamp board to feed into a mono power amp section? 100k pot with channel 1 on one outside leg and the other channel going to the other outside leg and take the output to the amp from the centre wiper leg through a 47K resistor.</p>

<p>if you use the karaok reverb board from ebay you listed i dont think you need to. from what i can figure out from googling it and reading the amazon listing, the first two pots are mic1 and mic2 volume pots and the third is the delay/reverb control. so you get mixing of two signals at the preamp.</p>
