Project 001 – Fixing an old (Boss) power supply
If you’re like me, you have a whole bunch of these kinds of power supplies all mangled up and lying broken in a box or tossed in a drawer somewhere. Instead of throwing them out and buying a new one,

CWS008
Boost with six-way tone rotary switch. This pedal is yet another progression of the boost circuit found in pedals CWS001–CWS004, consisting of a volume and tone control. Instead of the continuous tone control as found in CWS004, this pedal has
CWS007
Tremolo Pedal made for Derek Sterenberg. This pedal was made to the same specifications as CWS006, based on a circuit which was published in Electronics Australia in November, 1968. It has a similar sound to the tremolos that were built

CWS006
Tremolo pedal based on EA tremolo design. This pedal was built fairly true to the circuit, with minor adjustments to the controls to give them a more preferable range. The sound of this pedal, compared to that of the boost
CWS004
Boost pedal built with military grade metal film resistors and Sprague orange drop capacitors. This pedal was built for personal use and combines all of the elements of CWS001, CWS002, and CWS003 that I preferred for use in my own
CWS003
Boost Pedal This is a dual JFET boost, using the mu-amp/minibooster circuit. The controls for this pedal are—a 2-way gain switch, volume knob, tone knob, and a 3-way bass switch. The two fixed biases, selectable with the gain switch, were

This pedal is another mu-amp JFET transistor boost using two 5751 transistors in a stacked configuration. The controls for this pedal are—a volume knob controlling overall output level, a bias knob which controls the gain level of the transistors, and
CWS001
This is where it all began. When looking for a first project to build I stumbled on Jack Orman’s version of the minibooster circuit, which I used as a building block for the first pedal. This circuit, also called a
