Mosfet Booster-Rangemaster-Fuzz Face Triple Monster!!

[shredgd]

Tell me if you agree with me. Why should I spend money on buying 3 boxes, 3 stomp switches, 3 input jacks, 3 output jacks, 3 circuit boards for building these three simple-design pedals, if I know I will be using them one at a time or, at most, in pre-set combinations? There's no reason.
So I thought if I get a large enough box and three DPDT mini-toggle switches (which you can see as three DPDT stomp switches working in true-bypass mode, without any led, one for each effect) I can build a 3-in-1 pedal and simply select the effect I need for that particular song before I start to play, and then engage it with the stomp switch (of course I need one, but I save the money for the other two) when necessary. Also, if I want to use the fuzz face with my humbucker split, I can avoid the volume drop between the split and non-split sounds by pre-selecting a combination of Mosfet Booster + Fuzz Face via the mini-toggle switches!

I still have a couple of questions, though.
In any case (even if I decided to build three separate pedals) I have to choose, when assemblying, the order of the three effects from input to output (of course they are series-linked). Leaving out the Rangemaster (which I will never use in combination with the other two effects, so it can be placed anywhere in the chain), do you think it is better to place the Mosfet Booster in front or after the Fuzz Face? My common sense tells me to put it in front, as I want to simply raise the output level of my split-humbucker, but I might be wrong or there might be impedance issues I'm not aware of, that's why I ask.
Also, I'm supposing these three circuits all have a low current draw which will allow me to use a single battery to power them all, am I wrong? In case I am, however, I might add three more mini-toggle switches to power each circuit on or off (yes, I like mini-toggle switches...!). That would make things even more complex, but it will still be simpler to use than a digital multi-effects unit!
Thank you in advance,

Good idea to build everything in the same box. I'm building a Rangemaster and a Mosfet booster in one box at this moment!

A Fuzz Face has a low input impedance, so this one is loading your pick-up more the a mosfet booster. It is a good idee to use the booster in front of the Fuzz-Face.

Good luck,

Actually Rangemaster into Mos Boost sounds sweet (I'm using that combo right now!) and for my purposes I like FF, RM, MosBoost.

Thank you very much, actually I think it will be very easy to change the chain of the effects inside the pedal moving a couple of solder joints.
So, am I right about my current draw assumptions?

yeah, all three circuit draw just a little current....

I don't know if anyone has had this problem or not, but I have.  Obviously.
I love building these multi-boxes.  The only problem I have had with putting a booster circuit in front of a low output fuzz is that the booster will sometimes really clip when hitting the fuzz.  This does not sound good.  It sounds like a really compressed turd popping out of your anus.  Just a thought.  Maybe try them different ways to see what you like best?
Good luck!
