I have great memories building small guitar amplifiers out of its little brother the LM386.

Adding just a transistor to handle the high impedance of the guitar and a few cents worth of resistors and capacitors, one could build a tiny amplifier that once plugged to a 12" guitar speaker could make some serious rock'n'roll!

I remember taking most design ideas from this gold mine: https://www.sonelec-musique.com/electronique_realisations.ht... (unfortunately only in French)
