back

That's true; I should've made this more clear. I'm using a "supergun" tool that is designed to lower the level back down to line-level, so I don't actually need the amplifier to run at anywhere near its full capability; in fact, that'd just be a waste. I just need to give it enough power to work at all.

Even so, I wouldn't be surprised if the high-pitched sound you can faintly hear in the video at the end is due to the effect you mentioned.

Ah, cool, that makes sense!

If you need more power, I'd suggest a module like this one: https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/ptn78000a.pdf Switched capacitors are great for low currents, but inductors work better for higher currents.

What's a "supergun"? Basic googling didn't help.
