Title: Re-built the amz mosfet boost
Post by: jimbob on August 07, 2004, 01:05:27 AM
I re built this thing--turns out the 1st time i did it it boosted a little and was decent--this time i took my time and WOW its a nice little booster..clean and sounds good w my amp--I didnt think there were any out there that would sound decent w my set up.. I think ill build a treble boost and see how that sounds..

It's a great booster. Many commercial boutique pedals use that one or a derivative. I have one at the start of my chain and love it, thinking of building a second to place at some other part of the signal chain, i.e. before overdrive or distortion.

how hard would it be to built 2 of these and connect them inside a board and use a switch between the 2--1 for the 1 boost and a 2nd switch to add more boost to the 1st?

Here's suggester:
 Have a DPDT  bypass the whole affair [two Mosfet boosts, 1rst one on when the 'box' is on], the second MB having a second bypass DPDT.
 So the first sw would bypass the box, the second would in/out the 2nd Mosfet boost.
 Use of 3PDT makes easy indicator for bypass's.

I was just thinking--could you do this with just 1 power source (where 1 turns off and you turn the other on and the other effect uses that other power source.--ya know 1 dc jack instead of 2? Or would that mean you could never use the 2 at the same time?

Yes, have another look at my little re-re-drawing. This is how I do it, I'd done the other drawing in a hurry.
