Powersound Boost Mockup Pedal - Arriving Soon!

[Robert]

This reminds me of when I realized my tail wasn’t normal…

Dime the Volume, use the Gain control to control volume, you basically have the Power Boost.

Use the Volume / Gain like an overdrive, you have the Overdriver.

You can pull the charge pump and run it at 9V if you'd prefer as well.


I just wanted to make both options available... Some purists would prefer to not have the Master volume, other folks would prefer it.

 

[Coda]

Don’t let anyone ever make you feel like there is anything wrong with your tail.

I won’t. I promise. I was using it to drive my Fuzz Fave earlier…the Hybrid Powerdrivebooster, not the tail…

I dig it. Is mine still available? If not, that means it’s collectible now…*runs to Reverb*…

Now I’m curious to see what differs between the reissues and if it’s consequential at all.

I have two schematics for the Power Boost, the difference between them is the 220nF / 4.7uF output capacitor. I gave a universal footprint that can use either, your choice.

There are a few other values different in the schematic I have for the Overdriver. They are minor differences, but differences nonetheless.

There is also a difference in where the feedback resistor of the first stage is connected.
Can you hear the difference? I probably couldn't. Some folks probably can (or think they can).

I figure while I'm feeling redundant I'll work up a version similar to the Throbak as well.

I had this back in 2015 for a week but my mate love it more so I sold it for what I payed , 1/2 R.R.P again!

Welp, I needed a good rabbit hole.

I don't care what it is or what it does, a side knob is janky af

This was the Buffalo FX first edition:

Ok. Got my schematics in order!

Here is the gist of the changes as I can decipher:
