Uh… I finished reading the AMZ Simple Jfet buffer article… Sorry, redundant question… And by the way, thank you, Jack. I’m currently and extensively using a Mosfet booster that I made out of veroboard, with the Mil bypass (can’t find 3PDT’s either, so…) and couldn’t be happier.

Is it possible to use a 2N5457 as a replacement for the J201? I just can’t seem to find them where I live. And, if so, would it require me to change the value of any of the other components?

Why did you choose an electrolytic cap for C2? Wouldn´t a film cap be better?

You can change C2 for a 10uF
It drives the fuzz better.
Thanks for your cool website.

I did that buffer for my wah pedal , and imho it sounds better or even more wah effect in general, but with distrortion pedal after wah i hear little noise probably from circuit.
Here in your web http://www.muzique.com/lab/buffers.htm
i saw another buffer based on TL071 chip , so i thinking making one for testing with wah pedal – will be there less noise or not?
Did you try it before?

Thank you for that useful and interesting web.
