[Solved?] Simple question about amping electical currents
I am attempting to build a pocket guitar amplifier. So far this is what I have.

What you can see in that picture WORKS! The tiny electrical current from the guitar goes through the battery powered "box wrapped in red duct tape" that is then sent to the head phones, where i can hear the sound of my bass guitar.
So after i got that much working, I added this.

What you see there is the wire (as a whole) wrapped around a circular shaped permanent magnet.
My question is this. Is the wire being wrapped around the magnet helping, hurting, or doing nothing for, my goal?
(My goal is to make the existing amp louder and more "crisp".)
I can hear sound clearly through the headphones both with and without the magnet however, I think (no proof) that its slightly louder with the magnet.
I asked around and looked on google only to wind up here. Therefore I have no other equations.
I have tried both with and without the magnet taking mental notes...
