Nice amp.. Erm just wanna ask, wad resistor did you use for gain control (10k?) ? (I'm new at amps) TQ

[techDASHtutDOTcom]

@29125me I used a 5k ohm pot between pins 1 and 8. The volume pot is a 100 ohm pot.

@29125me You can use any pot that you'd like. If it doesn't work, removing and replacing it is simple.

Can you make a video how you made this amp?

@KurtCobinmyhero

I don't have a camera that I can edit video from anymore. I would need to video several tasks and piece them together to effectively explain the build. My instructable can hopefully do just as good of a job. The hardest part is the wiring, and I hope I've done a good enough job of explaining and providing helpful links.
