This is a lousy pedal in my experiance. The boost was very bland. I greatly prefer the zvex super hard on. Also the tone control was quite weak seemed like a flubbed big muff tone control. It just didn't seem right. Very expensive. As much as I don't dig zvex, the super hard on is the best boost I have played. I just build a landy boost so I don't have to feel like its vex :)

well, the minibooster,by nature will be fatter and grittier than the SHO. I find the MB to be superior to the SHO for certain situations, and the SHO superior for others.

2x 2n5457
R1 = 150k
C5 = 47pF
R5 = 100E + 5k pot "Input" (no cap) (crackle okay?? :roll: )
C2 = 47nF
C3 = 47nF

tonecontroll 47nF after C3 to GND (limited by a 100k pot "highs")
silten bias-divider for Q2 (see R.G.s article at geofex) 1M/10k/10k

Vcc = 16,8V

There´s a sucker born every minute - and too many of them end up in the bootweak pedal biz.

Is the Katana the same as this? (voltage doubled mini-booster?)

I know it has been three years but I wish people were more consistent with where they keep their online pics. Half of the forum posts have just broken links to them.
