As reported in a previous thread, I had some hiss problems with my AMZ MosFet Boost when using a power supply. I had tried a 100uf Electrolytic across the rails with no improvement, so I tried the resistor/ cap combination employed by the AMZ Mini-Booster and... SUCCESS! I would recommend this to anyone building the MosFet Boost for general consumption. I had no hiss problems with the same power supply and my other amp, so if I were making these pedals for other people, I would not have known there was an issue had I not recently purchased another amp. I guess the moral is try your FX in as many different setups as possible. I'm still curious why one amp would hiss and one would not, with the same exact chain of FX and power adapters, etc.  Thanks to the people who gave me tips!
