Where to Learn?

Guest
Im trying to make a goodbye gift for my friend. he loves playing the
guitar so i figured whats better then a mini amp? so i did a bit of
research and found the site aaroncake.net and found a plan:

http://www.aaroncake.net/circuits/amp.htm

i think the site gives me all the info i need, my only problem is that
i dont know how to read the diagram. where can i learn the basic
knoledge needed to be able to read the diagram? im also interested in
another project on the site.
http://www.aaroncake.net/circuits/fuzz.htm
but it looks far more complicated but still cannot read the diagram.
if anyone could point me in the right direction i would be very
greatful.

You're better of with a complete kit rather than just a plan. Or else
you might still be stuck in plans when the day comes that your friend
leaves.

Here's one for $6.95

For a guitar, you need a preamplifier as well:

Perhaps a basic electronics course at your local community college, as

well -- if you're not reading schematics yet there's probably a _lot_ of
other stuff you also need to pick up.

community colleges. and even if they were, they wouldnt speak english.

kit. thanks!

that site was given to me. it seems to be very helpful and i think its
everything i need to learn about it. its seems to be very basic and
good for beginners. anyways thanks everyone for the help.

I was afraid that would be your situation -- oh well.

In that case keep asking -- and building kits is a good way to pick this
stuff up.
