Ok, It was the IC. I attempted to build this amp before with a used PCB and I guess I fried it then. I am using this as a little test amp. I build cigar box guitars and this is perfect for testing my pick up wiring.
One last question though if you dont mind....Can I run this amp with a wall adapter. Ive seen guys build this with an input for an adapter. How is this done?
I guess what I'm asking is what kind of adapter do I need to power this without frying it.
