I had a bunch of 741 op amps around and decided to build a preamp myself. I used a inverter amp configuration (quite a simple one) and it worked great. By cranking up the gain by a lot I get a nice heavymetal distortion.

Here is the schematic along with a link to see it running in a free java circuit simulator.
The only problem is that the preamp seems to amplify too an FM radiostation and I can hear some nice music while I play guitar....
At the beginning I thought my guitar was haunted by The Beatles and played on its own, when I hard a kind of a voice I suspected it could be receiving some sort of radio signal..
You don't believe me? Check out this video!
ok, it is good idea

That's some brilliant DIY ingenuity right there, using a simple 741 op-amp in an inverter configuration to not just boost the signal but also unlock a killer distortion tone for your guitar.
