build an onboard mid boost for guitar?

[jonathan perez]

anyone know how to build a midboost for guitar, thats very similar to the EMG midboost? i love that thing to death, but only have access to one thats on ebay (im going to win that sucker, price is of no importance!  ), and the one on that i got from that guy sounds pretty much like crap, its very harsh.

anyone know?

hey, you build it for me ill pay you top dollar, no kidding

BTW: germanium transistors/diodes=garbage in my live rig

Yup, that is mine.  Feedback has been really good on this.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

there's several here to buy: http://store.guitarfetish.com/activepreamps.html

i know that making one would probably be easy, but in case you need it now.

I dont trust anything in a block of epoxy, as I cant get to the components in case I want to mod stuff to suit my gear. There are loads of schematics for good mid-boosters, some very simple. Id rather build my own that is tailored to my guitar/fx/amps. And this is a diy forum anyway.

Good luck with the boosters though
