My son and I are building the Mini3 amp. The thing we are doing differently is putting it into a Altoids can instead of the hammond box. So, I wanted to modify the headphone and line in Output because the front panel trying to get the connectors looks like it may not fit because the board will not butt stragiht against the front of the altoids can, the altoids can curves at the corners, I could file away the pcb board and curve the corners maybe to make it fit. the other issue is the charging cord, we will have to make it so the cord will go through the box in the back and you will have to open it to plug it in to charge.
My idea was to get a headphone adapter cord and solder it directly to the board then have that cable go throught he hole in the front and you would then plug the headphone into that, problem is, what part do I need to make that happen? I saw a thread where someone did that on there Cmoy and it looked nice. I was going to do that for the headphone and the line iput. The other thing we are going to do is make the LED come up through the top of the can so you can see the power on from the top and not the side.
Anyone got a link or idea on how to make it all fit?
Thanks!
