How Can I add a Boost in to a design?

[Chuck D. Bones]

I just peeked at the Gloryhole (ok, you can stop snickering now). It already has a booster at the output. One could replace R17 with a C10K pot. If necessary, a small series resistor (470Ω maybe) could be used to limit the max gain.

BTW, some people fiddle C8 & C10 to adjust the brightness. R14 doesn't do anything.

Just amazing.

Thanks again master of gloryholes

I like using these to add a boost pot to another build: https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/nsJTeQK0. They're tiny and easy, but FYI they are LOUD.

great minds think alike... I ordered 24 of those because they were cheap and that's exactly what I have in mind for them.. to add to a circuit for a boost.. literally the footprint of the potentiometer

Doesn't get much more simple than that.

If you just want to Boost a circuit that is in need of a simple resistor swap & space permits,
This is a handy tool, lets you adjust to where you want:
