It's official, the Kickstarter campaign is live!
The Honey amp is a small 1/2w, LM386-based amp. Unlike most LM386 amps though, it doesn't use that chip for it's primary distortion. The LM386 is set open for a gain of 20. Preamp duties are taken care of by a modified version of my 5th Gear Overdrive circuit, including a custom BMP style tone adjustment. I've voiced it very similarly to the Top Boost circuit of a Vox AC30 - it does not emulate the Vox, but it does have similar tonal response.
It can run from 6v to 18v (spec'd with an LM386-4). It comes with aux in and headphone out 1/8" jacks, and has gain, tone, and master volume controls. Check it out!

**Edit to include maximum wattage specs @ 10% THD / 1% THD**
4 ohms = 0.35w @ 9v (clean 0.25w)
8 ohms = 0.85w @ 12v (clean 0.5w)
16 ohms = 1.6w @ 16v (clean 1.0w)
