Bob,
Looking at the ebay link for the Hong Kong amp and the Qkit picture (FK602) they don't look the same. Are you sure they are the same? Does the qkit amp have a volume control? I can't tell from the pictures. If not, can you advise how/where to wire one in? I'd like to order some of the qkits as it will get here sooner and I have a deadline to meet.
Thanks!

Good little amp. No tone control, no LED (I rigged one without much trouble) Two internal gain settings (jumper), I used high & a 4" Realistic speaker, old ('91) faded & crappy looking but not torn or busted and got a cool very overdriven tube amp sound out of it (almost fuzz, but not quite). Decent volume for a Cigar Box amp. I paid $8.40 for mine. You can get it in a kit for around $5 or $6 from qkits.com in Canada. They have all kinds of neat stuff. Check them out, I just ordered a bunch of kits from them.
ps: They have most kits assembled for a couple of bucks more. Also, their prices are in US dollars & shipping is resonable.
So, I did some trouble shooting on this amp. It appears that it may not be able to tolerate input from a piezo. I hooked one up to the input and still got the rapid clicks. I think I'll try and build a little 386 amp, although my last attempt resulted in failure.
One possible remedy is to add an inexpensive 2-channel pre-amp (similar to one found on an acoustic/electric guitar)...which improves the signal from the piezo before it reaches the amp.
As well, using two piezo discs rather than one improves the sound/tone too...wired in parallel.
