How To Make A DIY Clean Boost Mini Guitar Pedal

[@aosenhorlouvai]

in Brazil it is very expensive to buy audio equipment. Your channel makes our dream come true!

thank you for giving us access to this knowledge.

Very good video! I've built myself a couple of boosts using a J201 transistor and just a few components. The board turned out so small, I even installed one in the cavity of my Les Paul. And I engage it using a push/push pot. Hidden, but there where you need it 😁

[@RobMods]

Nice one. A single fet buffer/ boost is fine as an onboard pre. I've done that myself many times.

[@philhardy18]

That's really interesting Rob . I built a very similar jfet boost with 2xj113s . I was interested that you went with 2 stages for the same reasons that i did .

[@RobMods]

Thanks Phil. I've noticed the Keeley Katana is similar in this respect as well.

[@areusmartinez8343]

You are a genius 😮

[@therewasascene]

Really good vid for the build but would’ve liked some more demoing I’ve never done through hole and am excited to try this though!

[@daniwest1370]

Love the content Rob!

[@RobMods]

Thanks mate!

[@basspoobag]

a MANS drink.... haha great content as usual Rob:)

[@ajmorfe]

Hello, I've set it up and it sounds great, but I have a problem, when you activate it, the damn "pop" sounds, is there any way to correct that? Thank you

[@thejoetandy]

Hey Rob, any chance you could drop a B.O.M or an online cart for these builds for us locals/beginner's? Great build, great use of the local drink for the name pun

Link to the project in video description. There you will find the pdf containing layout, schematics and all build information for this and many other projects. Good luck.

[@rudy5360]

Just found your channel, loved this video! Can I ask what software are you using for veroboard layout?

[@RobMods]

Hi Rudy. For stripboard layouts, I use an old free program called PCB Express. I used to use it years ago when I would etch my own boards, and I've kept using it for simple stuff like this because I have all my custom parts there and I''m very quick with it. Plus for the channel, it has a nice chunky sort of look, if you know what I mean. It is a very outdated programme though.

[@zulfiarahimsa]

Hi there, what is the name of jack socket that you are used for the input and output?

[@martinlibert9369]

Hi! When I buy my electronic components, are there any things I need to pay attention to (e.g. resistor tolerance, capacitor power, etc.)?

[@peternoya]

Pretty good!

[@RobMods]

Thanks Peter, I'm glad you liked it. This was the first time I've built a pedal in one of these small enclosures. Was a fun project!

[@peternoya]

@@RobMods After watching the video I built one using your layout. For the enclosure I use a metal electrical box a little bit wider than the 1590A. It worked perfect for me and sounds amazingly good. Thanks for the project.

[@RobMods]

@@peternoya Cool mate. Thanks for the kind words. Glad it worked out!

[@crnogor]

As you have huge exp. with components to sound deal , let me ask : which resistors should i use in , which ewer pedal make , wire , carbon or metal film ? What about tolerance o/o ? Should i avoid Al e . lyte caps in a signal path ? Thanks ! Very interesting clip ! Regards !

[@RobMods]

1/4W or 1/2W metal film resistors for sure. A good quality electrolytic is fine for the output coupling cap. Thanks mate. I'm glad you enjoyed my video!

[@MrYusuf-ob1hu]

Hey rob, canni use it for my bass guitar ?

[@RobMods]

Yes, I don't see why not. It has a more or less flat response. If your bass is active and you slap a lot you would probably want to optimise the headroom as I talked about.

[@LeoRamanery]

Hi, very good video. Can you help me? I can't find 2N5484 to buy it. What component I can put to replace this 2N5484 ? Transistor BF410A is able to assemble the pedal without problem ? If you can help me with this I'll gratefull.

[@RobMods]

You are right, mouser and digikey both now list these as obsolete. I buy mine from jaycar, but there's also still many ebay sellers.

[@doncalloway136]

I need it in a step by step LAYOUT format ( not schematic) . Do it like B.Y.O.C. amp build plans does theirs . I would be grateful and many others would be grateful also..Do that and I will make a donation !
