Hey all,

Has anyone added a high-pass filter to a minibooster to emulate a treble booster on some settings?

Do u want to be able to switch between treble booster and normal? Because if so, you can just switch in series capacitance with the input cap (anything between 0.1uf - 470pf depending on how much bass cut you want). If you want to have it as just a straight foreward treble booster, just change the input cap to anywhere between 0.01uf - 470pf.
Hope this helped  :)

Yep, just put a smaller value input cap on the Minibooster. Alternately you "could" put a smaller value source bypass capacitor on the Minibooster too.

Sorry my original post was so ambiguous, I was trying to do it before I had to go to class.  What I meant was maybe inserting a variable high-pass filter between the output of the booster and the volume control.  Does anyone have any ideas as to values for the cap and the pot?

hello~
i think joe's "input cap blend" might be the way to go... look at the deluxe bazzfuss @: www.runoffgroove.com  it uses the input cap blend pot...
hth,
be well,

Try the high pass filter in the simple mods page. Linked off of my home page.

Thanks all.  I'll let you know how it works out.

I [re] Boxed that MiniBooster, that thing IS nice, has a very smooth 'touch breakover' that works so well driving other items like input tube or FF or OA Feedback Cllipper...Just plain super...or being driven by a Mosfet, Ge etc..
 It was in with some other stuff [a tone control for one] and wasn't really getting used, I stripped it down to the Minibooster only, and boxed that...it's been two days now, I'ts a keeper...
 I like to leave stuff on...add successive gain be adding cct;s to the chain Via True bypass, This one's proving to be quite the party host !!!
