Tiny Giant Amp

Requested by a few people on the forum, this is a mini amp circuit by Taylor Livingston with a bit more ooomph than the others on here, giving 20 watts into a 4 ohm speaker, or 12 watts into an 8 ohm.

Designed to run off a laptop power supply which I'm sure we all have hanging around the house from old broken laptops, with a LM338T taking that down to a regulated 11.6V to supply the opamp and amplifier.  The pins of the TDA7240A will need offsetting slightly so it is suitable for vero, but it can be done easily enough, as checked by Lazy Swamis on the forum.

Details of the project can be found here, and there is plenty of discussion to read through if you want to at diystompboxes.
