They sound "way better?" Where's the DIY? ... For a great sounding little amp, I made the Ruby from RunOffGroove: http://www.runoffgroove.com/ruby.html Schematics available, PCB layout available, perf layout available, all for free. Licenses can be obtained for commercial use. Build reports abound. Mods are easy and fun. My build here: http://remmelt.com/ruby/ There are loads of other and free small amps out there, this is just an example. I also own a Smokey which is a bit pricey but great. http://www.smokeyamps.com/ The schematics aren’t online? He sells the PCBs? They sound “way better?” Where’s the DIY?

Inspired by this post, I went home this weekend and built this amp into a Sugar Daddy metal mini-lunchbox. See my flickr group here http://www.flickr.com/photos/codebetter/sets/72157600224472871/ I added a on/off led to the circuit as well. I bought the lunchbox for $1 in Target and wish I'd bought ten more. It even had sugar daddys inside! Hi BoingBoing!
