    Found this idea from a guy on HC and the schematic came from runoffgroove.com. Pretty much all the components caqme from a beginners electronics radio that I built years ago. There is make a few tweaks from the schematic, mostly because I just used whatever bit's and pieces I had!!
    It is transistor amp (using a 386 op-amp) but it's not a bad amp for a can of beans, kinda like a high quality Marshall MG series!!:D
    Anyways it runs of a 9V battery and will make for a cool house party trick...:pac:

    I still like my smokey box.
    Crap amp, no smokes in the box, and if you sit on it you may pierce a buttock. But at least it looks cool.

    Hey, thanks for all the comments guys.
    I had tried to put it in a can of beer but the can wouldn't support the input jack. After a nights boozing I was pretty hungover and had a big fry up. The can of beans seemed like the next most obvious choice!!:pac:
