Dan Boost BC108 PTP Boost

[jjjimi84]

Here is my point to point boost build report and play through. I love this pedal for when I want that kind of screaming Super Reverb sound but just through my Allen Accomplice. It hammers the front end of the amp and is really biting and cleans up beautifully. I built a Dam Red Rooster boost, I believe, on a breadboard and started swapping things around tinkering around with it using my SG and this was the end result. I wanted a way to try and use up this bag of 200 BC 108s I have had forever, so I thought it would be really cool to try to come up with a simple boost and then pair it with a great BC108 fuzz and make a dual pedal. That pedal is built and in this video and could not have happened without Cooder, I will be filming a video on that soon.

Looks great—especially the angry transistor. How did you go about planning your layout?

Thanks mate! I appreciate it!

I pot in the pots and switch and the power jack and ran the wires through the holes and wired up the switch. From there I just went for it starting at the power jack and bent the components as I went and soldered them in. Its such a basic boost that it was pretty easy to do. The update version with a bias trimmer and three diodes would be a bit more involved.

That's just bat shit crazy cool.  I may have to throw in the towel if I have to start thinking in 3 dimensions 😉

Your point to point is tight and that art is awesome!

That is sweet! I love the 3D pipes screensaver vibe going on with the guts

Man, that thing is sweet!    Killer build and great video, Dan.

Thank you all very much, it really wasn't to challenging to build. I think every one should try it just once.

God damn the pusher man
