This is an amp I built for my brother in law for Christmas.

Cool amp. I've got an old PSU housing that I've got saved up to use as an amp chassis. Is this another ruby?

Nope, not a Ruby.  It's a Little Gem from runoffgroove.com.  No knobs, full gain all the time.  I'm adding a switch for gain/clean though now.

Hey that's great !!
It's much nicer inside than outside.
Tell us something about the speakers.
Post an MP3.

I'll see about a sound clip.  I have it back here so I can add a gain switch, I'll take a pic of that while I'm at it.  Nicer inside than outside?  lol, depends on how you want it to look.  I wrapped it up for Christmas, and he thought he got a PSU  :tu:

Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes straight to the bone!
