boosting the signal after adding passive tone ?

[jonjon]

 hi
i have made a few fuzzes now. and really like adding Jack Ormans stupidly wonderful tone control http://www.muzique.com/lab/swtc.htm.
but find it lowers the signal of the fuzz, so when bypassed the clean is louder the the fuzz.
is there a way to boost the signal so it is a bit louder when the fuzz is on?


i put the tone control circuit after the fuzz.
thanks for any help

Check out the this Little Big Muff schematic: http://www.montagar.com/~patj/lbgmuff.gif

You could add the little boost circuit which starts after the tone switch - from the 0.1 cap onwards - it's very similar to the LPB-1: http://www.montagar.com/~patj/ehbsters.gif - you could even add one of them!

I did that - used the LPB-1.  I run the FF wide open (no volume) and have the volume on the LPB as the 'master'...works pretty well!   Might need 'tweeking' but should work fine!

thanks guys lpb 1 it is then.

ill try it out on the  bazz fuss( christian) from homewrecker it has a 100 k pot at the end for the volume, if i use the lpb as the master i guess i just replace that pot with a 100k  resistor

ok so i did it . works great . i used the section of the little big muff that frequencycentral put a link too, thanks heaps .

i just worked with what i had at home so i had to use different value resistors and tranny . but worked well.
i put it after the volume of my fuzz and emitted the vol from the boost circuit .
anyway thanks guys for your help. love this site

Proud to put something back in!
