Les-Paul Mid Boost

[guitarman]

I am looking for a schematic on a mid boost not for a pedal but one that will fit in my guitar. I also need a parts list I want to make one for mine. I know I can buy one but I work on electronics and want to do it myself. My axe is wired as jimmy pages using a gibson 500t and a 496r . So if anyone has any info on this matter please let me know thanks.

hi Paul,

welcome to GuitarNuts2.

Steve Ahola at the Blue Guitar ( www.blueguitar.org ), has a schematic for the Eric Clapton mid boost:



there are also hand drawings, parts list, and layout.

go here: www.blueguitar.org/new/schem/_gtr

and get the files starting with ec_.


if you're in the mood for experimenting with passive circuits, you might also look at the varitone.

Wolf posted this drawing a while back:



this also has a "stereo" version.

the varitone was a mid-CUT circuit.

but if you twist things around so the cap and inductor are in parallel, it becomes a tank circuit.

you will cut the highs and lows, so the mids will be more pronounced.
