Hi all

I'm looking at making a simple one knob boost pedal that has zero volume when the knob is fully rolled off.
Does anyone know if such a project exists?

Thanks in advance

Any boost that has a volume pot at the end. Does not get much simpler than the LPB1, and many single FET boosters (like MBs Fatpants Jr, although that is a bit more complex due to the voltage multiplier).

 I second WormBoy's post.

I have a shared OSH park project for a switch-mounted LPB-1 booster with optical bypass, called the Bismuth Boost. I haven't build the board yet, but the switching is the same as the SHO and the boost section the same as in my reverb, so I'm confident that it should work no problem.
I build pedals to hide my lousy playing.

My projects are labeled Quantum Effects. My shared OSH park projects: https://oshpark.com/profiles/m-Kresol

I built one. An ab pedal with a boost at the input before the stomp , b goes to a tuner.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

Just wondering,what is the importance of zero volume?
