Title: MOSFET Mu Follower Booster
Post by: rowdy_riemer on February 10, 2009, 10:59:35 AM
In the course of experimenting with MOSFET's, I've come up with a MOSFET Mu Follower booster circuit. You can read more about it here: http://www.riemer.us/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=42 (http://www.riemer.us/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=42). There might be no advantage to using this circuit over a simple Op Amp based booster, but I kinda like it. When critiquing my design, please keep in mind that I do not have a lot of experience with designing electronics, so please keep the criticism constructive. Using two of these stages together makes some crazy distortion. I'm planning on making a couple of pedals based on this design, and experimenting with different tone control circuits to put in between and afterward to tweak the tone.
