Looks good.  Is that power chip insulated from the case? No chance of overheating? |

Ersta' ... the LM338 power chip is insulated with silicon guards and grommets .. The TDA7240A amp chip is directly attached to the case and uses that for the heat sink ... Run pretty cool ... But I haven't played it for hours on end yet ... For more info , you can go here http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=89687.0 |

GPW I didn't know you ran at DIY Stompboxes!  Me too but under a different name...  I thought of building the TG, but I really want to try my hand at the Superfly... Its a .5 watt sub-miniature tube amp... All tube fun in a very practice-amp size! ... Actually I think I may have sent you linx to the SF schematic... I can't remember... They've got 3 sub-mini tube projects over there... Superfly which does cleans and overdrive pretty well... Murder One which is high-gain oriented and the Sub Zero which apparently focuses mainly on clean sounds...  |

SW, yeah , I try to make the rounds... You on Wattkins.com yet  More amp and pedal stuff ... mostly design and building ... Lots of guys have made the submini amps ... all report they sound Great ...  had some subminis, but gave them to a friend before I found out about the SF ...  This was just a little FUN SS project that really paid off ... Something to pass the time while waiting on my BBD parts ... |

Guys , I has some Hum issues with the amp , got quiet when you touched the strings , that thing Turns out it was the computer power supply ... Two kinds , 2 prong , 3 prong (earthed) ... The 3 prong is the ticket ... No Hum !!! I'd (now) recommend this amp kit for the new guys that want to get their "feet wet" in amp building ... It is a Good usable amp , and can get LOUD !!!  20 watts ... for 18 bucks , and a $9 PS off Flea Bay ... Beats the S**t outta' that 22cal. thing ... IMHO |

Do you have to use it with an 8 ohm speaker with it,
or can you go with 4 ohm or lower?
