NPN Boost pedal (Gus Smalley)

I've said it so many times, I just take a little step by forsake sheer supidity and do a bit of reading. If your a guitar player, then you should at least read through a a basic, super easy stompbox starter's project like this..

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

It is a simple clean booster, with some grit at the end. The above link take you to the forum were all the info you need, from part list to offboard wiring is covered thoroughly. A booster is something I think every guitarist can use, independent of the amplifier (be it Mesa Boogie or Peavey) can use. You can go to Boss, Electro Harmonix or Fulltone and only feel good when you've spent $250 on a booster pedal... Do check out the links below. Click one for fun. Please? thanks :-)




all you need is this, a battery and some jacks. Try it, even your grandma could do it and rock her socks off while you're crying on you Boss pedal shorcircuiting the whole circus. I'll be there if you ever want me... by your side.
