<p>This is a Ruby amp, it's a variation of the Smokey amp. It has a great tone that many say emulates a Fender Champ. Has a Volume and Gain control and you can do a input mod to sound more like a Bassman and adding a Tone control isn't hard to do.<a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/306651223?profile=original" target="_self"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/306651223?profile=original" width="385"></img></a> <a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/306652121?profile=original" target="_self"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/306652121?profile=original" width="430"></img></a> The bigger you…</p>

I saw plans for the smokey amp. I really haven't given the amp too much thought. Still doing research. I'm looking for more of a sound than a volume. I want to be able to distort and synthesize but keep the old retro bluesy sound offered in a simple can amp.

Also working on the 3string slide bass.<br />
Didn't space my tuners out correctly so I gotta do some improv work on the headstock there too. Will be adding Third string. Currently tuned to D and A.

<p>What sort of amplifier? Like how much power you looking to put out there?</p>
<p>I myself am working on a 200W ( 100W per channel / stereo ) amplifier, currently I can play music off my phone using the AUX port, still need to get the guitar input stage correct ( bought a preamp board kit for this, need to solder it and try it out )</p>
<p>For simple/quick/cheap amplifier I would grab the parts and build a Smokey Amp (which I didn't know about until after I bought the last kit! ), seems more…</p>

The 4 string I plan to keep 4 strings but the neck is just 1x3 right now.. want to cut the headstock into a more legit shape. Maybe sand down the sides of the neck. Pick out two other strings too!
