Deuterium Boost

Clean boost with mega amounts of headroom. Based around the lovely OP2134 op-amp, this is as clean as boosts get. But what's that LOW pot doing? It's adding so much bottom end you'll think your guitar has had ass implants.

The original has two independent boosts in one box, but we thought it would make more sense to make this a single stand-alone circuit. You could always build two.

There's the option to keep it clean, or grit things up a bit by swapping out a couple of diodes for germaniums.

If you want the PCB without parts there's a link for that at the bottom of the page.
