Preamps and Effects / bsiab2-lm383/lm386 suggestions?
January 03, 2012, 05:19:30 PM
Hey guys, I want to make a small "metal" practice amp i can power with batteries.. I've built lm386 amps and run dist boxes to them and they work but could use a little more grunt hence my inquiry to using a lm383.. my concern is if i can get enough clean headroom with the lm386 to let the bsiab2 do its thing at volume? maybe try the hiwatt mod to the ruby with pins 1 and 8 open for headroom?

i was thinking a bsiab2, or a thor to get my dirt.. i haven't heard either of these in person so suggestions are welcome! Also, if i stick to a lm386 circut wouldn't the buffer be essentially obsolete if i never intend to remove the grit circut?
