Hi everyone,
After examining the needs of my brother, I think that I'm going to build one of the AMZ Mosfet Booster circuits for his birthday. He also needs something that he can plug several instruments into as well as a booster. My idea is to add parallel inputs in front of the booster circuit.
Here is my idea - I took what appears to be the input structure of Craig Anderton's mixer from EPFM and used it to develop my own parallel input version of the Mosfet Booster ( For at least 3 input jacks: input jack --> lug 3 of 10k 'Level' pot, lug 2 of level pot to booster input, lug 1 of 'Level' pot to ground ).
Will this work without any evil side effects, and did I get all of the level-effecting parts of the input from the Anderton circuit? (Translation: Since I don't know what I am doing, did I just come up with an awesome idea or an idea that displays my ignorance in a grand way?) Or is this just wishful thinking and is the real solution to build a booster and a mixer then run the mixer into the booster?
Thanks,

The questions are too convoluted for me to sort out.
Should be N/P running a mixer into a booster.
There's a simple mixer at AMZ also.
Let me clarify, then.
The goal is to have one circuit that accomplishes 2 goals. The first goal is to be able to plug 1-4 instruments into the box and to have control of each input level individually. The second goal is to have any one of those inputs running into the AMZ Mosfet Booster. I thought of building the AMZ simple mixer, but this does not accomplish my goal of being able to control each input level individually without modification.
The questions are:
Is this really 2 seperate boxes - do I need a mixer circuit and a booster circuit - OR can I solve this problem by wiring up several parallel inputs with level control pots? If so, is there an example of this sort of thing anywhere?
Thanks
