Hello - pretty new and trying to build Dragon Fly's Utility boost.
Can someone map out where the wires go? ???
for example: where is effect out? what about the other lugs on volume?

thanks for your help, Steve

The text explains the output -- the board has a line for VOL3, and the text below explains that VOL2 is the output and VOL1 goes to ground.

Be sure to post your results, and your opinion of it -- I've been putting small boosters into my guitars, and this looks like a good candidate, so I'd be grateful to hear your opinion of it when you're done.

Cheers!

thanks.  It was late and I got stuck pinpointed on the drawing and not the text.  I will post my results.

I did make Gus's boost and it doesn't seem to work so great.  When I turn it on it is like a swell boost - slight hesitation (maybe that is what it does?) It worked better at home , fender tele into a small amp(smokey) than my les paul thru all my other pedals on my big amp (boogie mark3).  Not much of a volume boost as a "thickness" boost.  I will give it another try at practice tomorrow and see.  Thanks again

transistor bias voltage readings tell a long tale of circuit function/malfunction with a few numbers, that boost should BOOST indeed, I'd suspect a wiring error.
