Clean LM386 amplifier schematic suggestions please.

BUT: you MUST use the 10 ohms and 0.1uFd across the output!! (Check these values.) I see these omitted on a LOT of plans. '386 is barely stable without them, at idle, but when pushed it just goes nuts.

I built a distortion pedal with a 386 based on the Smash Drive. Good tone, but notes die off with an irritating buzz or fizz at the end. I didn't use the 0.05uf and 10 ohm cap and resistor to ground from pin 5. Would those components have anything to do with how notes die off?

Maybe an even better question would be, "What is meant by stability in the context of the 386?"


(Hope I'm not hijacking this thread.)

TDA2822M clean amp - louder than 386! Quite simple ckt but it SCREAMS!!! Used a 8" speaker (kind of you put on the ceiling) which is 8 ohm. YEAAAAAH
