Glittery Moves

Versatile germanium box of boost. Based on the RangeMaster, but with a whole bunch of extra bits to shape those boosted freqs.

IN gives you control over how much of your signal is hitting the boost. Clean things up, blat them full-on. BIAS will alter the nature of the boost, from barely-there cracked-up wheezing to overblown, with lots of naughty settings in between.

It's the dual-mode EQ that makes things interesting. With the mode switch down you're only altering the output range, thin it down to treble boost, oomph it up to full range. Flip the switch up and you're also controlling the input frequency range, changing the whole feel.

Includes the harder-to-find-each-time-you-blink NPN germanium can that provides the magic.

The kit is supplied with vertical-mount pots which have round shafts, so you'll need set-screw fitting knobs.

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