1 Watt Mini Amp

Here's a nice little solid state amp for headphone use or a small 4Ω speaker. Good candidate for a bench top amp for testing purposes. You can board mount the pot and it will fit in a 1590A just fine.

Run Off Groove Ruby

Got a request for a headphone amp, "for those of us who hit their peak inspiration when everyone's asleep." Being guilty myself of waking up my 1 year old son with a Peavey Classic 50 with the volume only at 2, I thought this was an excellent idea. So here's ROG's Ruby–a 386-based amplifier that can easily fit in a 1590A, or even an Altoids tin. Check out the ROG article on the circuit for more info and a couple of mods.
