I have been looking around the internet for info on making a small amp. I've found the schematic for the little one that takes a 9 volt battery. It looks doable, although I have done anything electronical since I was in the service in the early 60's. The only real tutorial I can find on it is in the Make mag (I think that is the name) and I don't want to spend $34.95 just to get that one tutorial I want. Anyone know where there are some tutorials on making this amp or other simple small ones?

Any idea how long a nine volt battery will run this one?

I'm sorry, I said it wrong, I need to get a cord that goes from the AMP to the guitar with the jacks on the ends. That is the cord I do not have.

I ordered another one this morning for the guitar I am building for my daughter.

Thank you
How loud is that bad boy??

Hey Guys, an UPDATE,
Regarding the Little Fender Amps I mentioned in an earlier post. Well I ordered 2 and I'm disappointed.Why am I disappointed? Because I didnt order several more and I should have.
These little amps are fantastic little gizmos.I paid $9.95 a piece and I couldnt be happier with what I got for the money.
The ad says they retail for $49.95 I believe and I can believe it.
If I can I'm going to order several more because I see no way I can build a cheaper amp.
This amp has volume,tone,DRIVE on/off switch 1/4 jack input. Powered by either 9volt OR adaptor for 120.What more can one ask for $9.95.
Well Spensor, the volume wont work in a band or something like that but its plenty loud for what we use them for, which is to help folks hear the Didleys we sell.
We tried last week to order several more but was told they were out of stock.I hope they get more in because our next order will be more then 2.
The volume is fine for noodling and it may even be ok if your playing with several acoustic instruments.
I just received another one yesterday. Going to my daughter with the guitar I'm making her.
Got my mini deluxe fender amp today can't say enough about it well worth the money less than $17.00 total including shipping.
