And could I, if I made a pcb just swap out the transistor for the JFET?

They are similar but also have their own characters:<br /><br />The changes are as such - the FB EQ booster has a treble boost/cut control the EP Boost only has a cut. The FB EQ has a bass/input impedance control whereas the EP Boost doesn't this allows quite a large range of gains to be had and it's pretty interactive with all the other controls. The second gain stage on the FB EQ Boost can add quite a bit of grit at max gain.<br /><br />I'm going to see if I can find myself a vero manufacturer - I'm terrible at doing layouts! I hope you enjoy the mods :-) If you want it tweaking just ask and I'll advise on values....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05172133688955122237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126694935311992807.post-33841182776633578652012-02-24T16:40:07.166+00:002012-02-24T16:40:07.166+00:00ok, cool, building it this week...it looks like th...ok, cool, building it this week...it looks like there are some differences between the xotic with your mods and the FB EQ Booster...they similar enough not to build both?DrRJEhttp://www.fearedandloathed.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126694935311992807.post-48871694266586010412012-02-24T10:55:13.771+00:002012-02-24T10:55:13.771+00:00http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.com/2012/02/xotic-...http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.com/2012/02/xotic-ep-booster-briggs-modded.html<br /><br />IVIark has already done one :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05172133688955122237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126694935311992807.post-66024584206439175962012-02-24T04:27:56.805+00:002012-02-24T04:27:56.805+00:00by "this", I mean the Fred Briggs EQ Boo...by "this", I mean the Fred Briggs EQ Booster, not the Xotic :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126694935311992807.post-13517893781452019822012-02-24T04:22:49.442+00:002012-02-24T04:22:49.442+00:00pleeeeeeease lay this out on vero for us...I reall...pleeeeeeease lay this out on vero for us...I really want to make one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
