Screw Griffin and Belkin, talk to Rob Wonder....

about pimping out your iPod and who needs that crystal clear fake sound anyways. We need gritty and square! Powered by a 9Volt this iPod custom FuzzBox utilizes the LM386 IC amp chip, which BTW was my first chip project ever. Back in the day I used to make portable guitar amps out of them and they sounded awesome to say the least. It is mono and does have quite nice harmonic distortion. It looks like Rob had build 2 of these units and I am pretty sure that they are Nano and Shuffle compatible! The Lm386 is a very nice amp IC with many possibilities and can even be turned into an oscillator For more info check the PDF http://www.jameco.com/wcsstore/Jameco/Products/ProdDS/24125.pdf Also for more on Rob and the Fuzz Box check out his MySpace page http://www.robwonder.com/

    I want to meet the person who midway through frying an egg thinks, "This would be a great time to take a picture of my ipod mod."

    Yeah, I like that as well. It would be a shame if it burned though.
