John from Crazy but Able built one of those Smokey Guitar Amps and demonstrates how it sounds with his guitar. The Smokey Amp plans are from Dirtbox and is designed to use those strip proto boards. With only a few components you could build it and be playing it in a few hours. Chances are you have all of the parts you need in your junk box. John modified the circuit a bit until it sounded good to him.
