just saw it on youtube and im interested :)
Links?

This time, LM386 would be the right guess. ;) It's tough to know anything based on the description, but it could basically be a pair of 386's in series, like so:

Or it could be just a smokey amp with a single-transistor boost in front.
thanx guys, that 386-386 design got my attention ;D
I'm reading thru the thread already, anybody built it in the past?
LM386.
Handy chip !
Built a buncha circuits and little amps with this one.
It makes a tidy and very rigid voltage divider too, supply a voltage across the V+ and Gnd. and the output is your Vbias.
This kind of power @9vdc [or even just under it's chip-current/voltage-limit, use heat sink] is a bit 'clunky', and that is a sought after, or less desirable attribute.
I'm not exactly sure what 'it' is, but the 386 can definitely be caused to distort, drive a speaker to 'loud' with it.
