New Brian May Treble Boost (PICS)

[JerryP]

Good point! Probably not a lot having re-checked the excellent offboard wiring document TonePad provides. I was going to use an LED so went with a 3PDT switch and guess I just followed things to the letter (apart from the LED connection of course)!

Quick update!

As recommended by some of you guys, I have now sourced a germanium (I decided to go for the CV7003) and replaced the BC557 that I initially used. Wow, what a difference! A much stronger sound and the Boost knob now does exactly that (as opposed to purely adjusting volume) with the sound just starting to distort at max boost although not to the extent of being a fuzz type sound.

I am really pleased with this build and find myself using it all the time, I used it in front of my Red Fuzz last night and could have played for hours.

Thanks again!
