<p>That’s why it’s good to stay with “branded” wall warts, they’re actually made for musical applications? Those “general purpose” wall warts aren’t known to have high/low frequency noise filters.</p>

<p>I'll add that those cheap brand walwarts can add a lot of noise and sometimes oscillation sounds to your amp or pedal. So sometimes that old saying that you get what you pay for can be very true. I guess those cheaper brands are skipping the filters that keep those issues at bay. So be careful when shopping for those walwarts.</p>

<p>It might be easier to buy and put together for a beginner, but they aren't a Ruby Amp. It's not just a difference of name, it's a difference of components, component values and schematic/layout. Those shown only have a volume pot instead of a Volume and gain pot like the Ruby has. They will not sound the same.</p>
<p>I think the layouts that BrianQ has provided are simple enough for most people to follow and the exact parts are easy to find at several websites for little enough…</p>

<p> Thanks BrianQ. That's pretty much what I had theorized, but I <em><strong>really</strong></em> don't want to let the magic smoke out, so, I tend to ask obvious questions. I found a long time ago, with me anyway, that being presumptuous in <strong><em>anything</em></strong> can be costly. (grinning)</p>
<p> I really appreciate it.</p>

<p>Wall warts for stompboxes/mini amps are between 200ma-500ma. Why, because 9V batteries are around the same specs? Look for Roland,Boss, DOD,Danelectro,Dunlop 9v power adapters, there’s a lot of info about them out there. those I mentioned above have been workhorses of the industry for decades? Look at sweetwater or musicians friend </p>

<p>Sounds great to me. I spent three hours yesterday alone trying to figure out how many milliamps a LM386 wall wart should provide. I would appreciate it greatly!</p>

<p>Thank you, thank you gentlemen! This is getting very exciting for me. Kinda like when I started building CBGs. Things are really beginning to "click".</p>
