i got one of these , rehoused it with a decent size speaker (5 inch) , removed the delay time resistor and cut in a pot , same thing with the tremolo rate resistor .

i am really fond of this mini amp .

the only thing left to do is mod the delay so i have a real wet/dry mix pot .

any ideas on how to go about this ? i couldnt find a schematic , i think it uses a pt2399 chip for the echo and it is smt :(

thanks !

heres a video of me demo-ing this thing :

  Makes really nice looking, better sounding, improved features, portable amplifier...affordably...way to go !

hey petey,
can you walk me thru what ya did?
i just got one of these things, would love to be able to adjust the delay a little. i can barely see them specks on the circuit board!!
