I just wanted to say Hello, Name is Frank
I stumbled on this forum while looking for schematics, and finally decided to join up. Lots of good info here!!!  I have been playing with audio amp IC's for almost 20 years, building effects pedals, etc. Its a lot of fun and really a pretty cheap hobby. I mostly play lap steel.
I am thinking about  building an amp for my steel with the LM3875 or the LM3886 for my next project. Right now I am working on a theremin.
Hope to get to know you all better.

Hello Frank. I found the forum the same way. What attracted me was the fact that everybody's friendly, helpful, informative, and more than willing to share their knowledge. I've lurked in other forums related to guitar and see alot of name calling, ass kissing, hazing of noobs, and generally spiteful people. Such a shame. I've only been here a couple days and have been treated nothing but nice. I've never built an amp or pedals but hope to in the near future. This is the place for the info and guidance.
