Mini-amp plans needed.

Can anyone direct me to plans for a small mini amp? I had a couple but lost them when my computer crashed. Something along the lines of the old Lil' Smokey amps that were housed in cigarette boxes. I would like to try one in a snus/tobacco tin.

Volume control is not really needed as this will be for practice on the go.

Try the schematics section of runoffgroove.com

You will find the Little Gem and Ruby.
