Question about "Little Rebel" 9v and 4.5v sources
I'm planning on building the "Little Rebel" to be battery powered (with an optional input for a power adapter), and I have a question about the power source.
I've previously built the Ruby amp from http://runoffgroove.com, which was a simple 1x 9v power source.
The Little Rebel schematic has two sections, the "top" and "bottom" (if you look at the schematic you'll see what I mean). The top section has several "4.5v", "9v", and "9v (2)" inputs. the bottom section appears to have "9v" and "9v (2)" outputs which I'm currently assuming correspond to the inputs in the top section.
However the "4.5v" part of the bottom section isn't listed as an "output" and I'm wondering if somebody could take a guick glance at the schematic and clear up the 4.5v connections. Should all the "4.5v" leads be connected?

I'd appreciate it if someone could give me some insight into how to handle the power sources, and what the story is on the power sources in the schematic.
Also, if anyone has any experience with this amp or can tell by the schematic, is a single 9v battery sufficient to power this amp for a significant period of time? It's quite a bit more complex than anything I've built before, so this is all kind of a learning experience.
