[...] The AMZ V-Dub pc boards have arrived. This is an updated circuit for a 9v-to-18v converter that has more features and improved design. The old V-Dub articles can be found here and here. [...]

It’s now a year later. Are these circuits either for sale, yet, or might you make the schematics available, please? Thank you.

Do you have the schematic available? I would definitely like to have one of these.

Will these boards be available again? … or would you be willing to sell the schematic? It looks similiar to the one on the GEOfx site but with more components so I’m curious how you made it better! … loving your minibooster by the way!

Any chance of getting the schematic for this? It is exactly what I’m looking for.

These pc boards are all gone – SOLD OUT

I plan on adding the schematic to the AMZ CD when I get the time.

One could use this inside a guitar in order to power Seymour Duncan Livewires, (18V), from a single 9-volt battery. Also, certain EMG’s respond well to an “18-volt mod”.

Cool circuit.

Certain types of pedals can benefit from having a higher voltage supply. Boosters will have more clean headroom when powered by 18v as opposed to 9v. Some overdrive pedals also change sound when used at higher voltages and many people like that change.

It has no relevance to the size of the stage or arena.
