Hi!

If you want a good clean guitar preamp, go to **broken link removed**. On that site you'll get plenty of information about amp/preamp building and theory. I've made the guitar amplifier/preamplifier from before mantioned page by myself and it's well worth the effort. If you don't need power amp, use only the preamp stage.

If you need good blues/classic rock distortion, try this: **broken link removed**. It's in slovenian language, but schematics and PCB layout are readable by everyone, aren't they? If you need additional information, ask me for translation. This distortion unit works wonderfull for me.

More great distortion projects: http://www.runoffgroove.com/. For each unit you'll find sound samples there.

Some info on distortion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distortion_(guitar), **broken link removed**.

can someone explain me the difference between gain and volume? is it just the emplacement of the pot that change ... one before the amp and the other after ?
