How to add a Tone or Mid control to the SHO Booster ?



Thanks for any help !

The standard options are adding a notch filter ('big muff' tone stack), or a low pass filter ('treble bleed'). This would come at the 'end' of the circuit, between the transistor and your amp or next pedal. Unless you add a gain stage after the filter, or use an 'active' filter, you'll find some variable volume drop in the output.
There are a lot of filters out there - something worth breadboarding.

these are from Beavis Audio:

big muff tone stack:

you would add either one straight off the output.
The SHO has so much boost on hand, that unless you normally use it with it on full blast, you pregnant won't notice too much attenuation with these Tone control mods.

I suggest the ones from beavis, very easy and great layouts.
Mockingbird wish me luck.
