LPB positive ground by swapping 2n5088 for 2n5087

[Chris S]

Hey all can I just swap the 2n5088 in an LPB for a 2n5087 and then it's positive ground instead of the usual negative ground?

Thanks!

(Why? I have a banjo with a positive ground active acoustic pickup I wanted to mix this with a regular guitar pickup but that needs a little bit of a boost to be as loud as my other guitars so I wanted to add the LPB and would rather swap a transistor than add the max1044 +Ve and & -Ve from one battery circuit)

If any caps are electrolytic (I can't remember), turn them around.

Whether the stand-alone LPB has it or not, a LPB on the same supply as anything else *should* have a >50uFd cap across the power rail to damp sneakage through the supply to the other stage(s).

Thanks! No electrolytic caps so easy swap.
