You can send me an email from my support page at http://www.muzique.com/email.htm

I will answer any questions that you have.

As for the switch mod above, you would solder the LEDs to the new switch… bring 9v to the switch center log, and a wire from one side lug of the switch to the pcb. You don’t have to drill any holes on the pcb.

Jack, I just purchased the mini booster pcb as well as the First Issue newsletter. In the email I was sent a link to the thread for help about the minibooster but nobody seems to respond really. Is there anywhere else to get help?

I built mine with the buffer. Shouldn’t it not be True Bypass since it’s acting as a buffer? Also, I’d like to add a gain knob and/or possibly the mod above but don’t know how to go about it. I understand I connect the leds to the switch but don’t understand where to put the leads. I see it says between the positive red battery leads and the power input on the pcb. Would I have to drill new holes for this? Any help would be appreciated.

It is safe to feed it 18v but that will negate much of the effect that we are trying to create. The volatge drop will be less than 4v and that will still leave the circuit powered by 14v, which will be missing the fat sound.

I have built this, but wonder if it’s safe to feed 18v into the circuit now. Will it actually drop the voltage to 9v with both LEDs on?

Would it be possible to use a pot instead of the switch & LED’s so you could dial in a desired amount of “fatness”?

Хорошая тема, продолжайте. Иногда нахожу ответы, которые получить самой просто реально не хватает времени. Спасибочки!

[Google translation: Good topic, please continue. Sometimes finding answers that get the most just really do not have enough time.]

what about a ‘sag’ pot a-la the fuzz factory?

I might add that this trick would work well with a fuzzface type circuit too!

That looks like it will work.

Would this be a correct wiring diagram?
