So I'm a complete beginner and I'm building this smokey amp circuit, would really appreciate some help

i was wondering if someone could please tell me how to wire in a couple of things to this

a 3 pin volume pot
a jack output so it can be wired into a big speaker (im still putting in a small speaker as well)
a power output (im using the battery as well but want to be able to plug it in too)

thanks so much!

Take a look at the Ruby amp project over at runoffgroove.com for some ideas.

You will need a switched power socket (3 solder terminals) and a 1/4" stereo input socket to turn battery or external power on/off. You can also use a mono socket and add a separate power toggle switch instead.
For basics on wiring stuff, I would suggest perusing the generalguitargadgets.com tech section and check out their project pages. A lot of this stuff goes hand in hand.
