Pure solid-state opamp goodness, no tubes. Here's a gut shot:

Sounds pretty nice, not a lot of clean headroom on the 9v battery, but if you plug in a 12v wall wart it gives more clean room before it starts to overdrive. Completely maxxed out on both controls yields a nice crunchy overdrive.

I'm going to try driving it with a few pedals tonight. More on the project at http://beavisaudio.com/Projects/ruby/

Any feedback? I mean, not on the playing, but the sound of the amp....



A) Awesome tone
B) Awesome playing
C) Awesome.

Build me one? :thu:

Actually, I was contemplating buying my gf a MicroCube to go with her Agile Tele. This might suit her even better, lest she becomes a pedal whore like myself. But seriously, build me one?

playing and tone are both good, the mic sounds a little distant but it still sounds righteous

Playing sounds just fine to me. Amp sounds great, especially for 30 bucks! Nice! I wonder what it would sound like in front of an amp as an overdrive?

 

I would certainly buy one for 30 bucks, even 50.

 

Hell you could make a bunch of them and charge 100 bucks and I bet people would buy it.
