However, I will use less (or more) as the circuit requires. The Mini-Booster is 1M but the Mosfet Booster is 10M, which makes it good with high impedance signal sources (such as piezo pickups), but I used 100k in the <a href="http://www.muzique.com/amz-cd.htm" rel="nofollow">Fat Gnat</a> distortion pedal.

What target input impedance do you like to use for pedals? This is a nice to the point piece on input impedance. What target input impedance do you like to use for pedals?
