Is this going to be easy on battery life (I plan on using rechargeable 9volts)? In the articles I read they make a good point of not wanting to have to change it every gig, so install it so it is not pulling power when a cable is not plugged in. I know from past experience building earthquaker circuits that the power can run dirty/power suck big time. But I know this is a simple clean boost. <br /><br />Anything else I'm not thinking of? Can I just wire this one knob to a push/pull volume pot?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04386218951637836387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-33036367452424624012021-02-03T09:25:38.689+00:002021-02-03T09:25:38.689+00:00Ohh...I got it!

Along with an the jumper at the very top of the same column that covers 3 holes. And just in case you've missed it there is also a second cut under the 10K resistor.

I click it on and it takes a second for the signal to come through and it's weaker then the dry signal... as if I had a noise suppressor on max and it just killed the saturation and everything. The only difference is that I couldn't get a 2.2M resistor and only had a 2M.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557473252124337332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-26860641833952667372017-10-27T04:07:32.933+01:002017-10-27T04:07:32.933+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557473252124337332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-49922856058087517882017-09-13T14:40:05.729+01:002017-09-13T14:40:05.729+01:00Hi everyone,

But i have some questions regarding the biasing.<br /><br />Because if i bias one for a Strat, i get a strong amount of boost and no clipping at all. <br />But as soon as i start biasing for a Les paul. I have to dial the bias waaay back to get no clipping. And now the boost is far from strong.<br /><br />And with clipping, i mean that annoying little background noise/rattling in the sound. <br /><br />Is there a way around this annoying rattling? Component choice, transistors or maybe some mods?<br />(strat pickups around 5.8Kohm and les paul at 7.8Kohm)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08394467292419542457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-41808014668580291872017-04-23T21:40:50.347+01:002017-04-23T21:40:50.347+01:00Anytime man.
