It's the Craig Anderton Frequency Booster. That's the schematic.

The "Angry Troll" and the "Tone Leper" are the same except for the "range" (Anger) control. They use
the same PCB as well.

The Angry Troll uses the same PCB, but it's modified...
It's a linear signal booster.

My take on the Tone Leper.......I'm no danielzink (the king of mini), but this was certainly inspired by his work, and is my first foray into the world of the 1590A. Thanks for the board, Jeorge.....

I know the Way Huge Tone Leper is same circuit as the Craig Anderton Frequency Booster, but do we know what the stock value of the tone shaping caps in the Tone Leper?

This is a rare one from the early 90s from Way Huge and is based on the Craig Anderton Frequency Booster. Stock it gives a mid range boost (800Hz), but that frequency can be altered by swapping the 2, 22nF caps:

220nF - 90Hz (lows)
100nF - 200Hz (low mids)
10nF - 2kHz (mids)
4.7nF - 4kHz (upper mids)
Even the original project had the caps as an option... so the only reason to be absolutely sure of what WH used, is to look at the guts of a unit.
But there seems no mystery here
