Hi everyone,

This is my first post and I wanted to show my noisy cricket.  It is the radio shack version from the Beavis Audio website.  This is my only my second build so the guts could certainly be a little cleaner, but I know what to do for next time now.

I wasn't able to load them into the gallery so I put them on photobucket.

How does it sound?  I built it a few months back and it didn't sound right.  I've been meaning to fix it but with school n all right now.

It sounds really good clean and the grit sounds good until the volume is at about 10:30, then it starts cutting in and out, but overall, I'm really happy with it.  I emailed Dano about the grit switch and he says that there is a wide range of effects depending on the 386 that you use and also the speakers.  I did the radio shack build that was on his site and I'm playing it through a fender cab.  I really just wanted a lower wattage practice amp for home and I also usually run my signal through a vox tonelab before the amp.
