Yes, That was one of my first amps to build. I soldered in a 1k pot for gain adj instead of the jumper.
After a couple Lil Gem builds, I settled on the Noisy Cricket. If you get addicted and are going to build a few, buying the components from china, you can build 10 for about $100. If you just want one, buy a kit.
I did find out you only want to use mylar (gumdrop) capacitors for the non-electrolytic, not the ceramic ones..
I have been giving them away when giving a CBG. Everyone is amazed at the sound given a lttle 9v battery. Have fun!!
I was going to build my own also but not being too overly excited about soldering on a little circuit board, decided to give the 5w amp "harness" fro Guitarfuel. I like it so much that I ended up building two and have plans for a third.
I'm not sure what op amp chip it uses or configuration but produces upwards of 5w instead of the .5/1w for the LM386. I've found that it can support a little more substantial driver than the one that's provided. Within reason of course.
I used a Jensen P8R in the one build and a Quam oval from a console in the other. Both sound very nice, great tone and surprising volume.
