Hey guys,
I'm trying to get some more volume out of my reissue blue box. I love the effect as is. I have heard about clipping or bridging a part, but the volume would be only slightly more and it will be less weird.
I remember once reading something about fitting a booster in the battery compartment.
I think that would be doable, but maybe I'm wrong ;)
Judging the schematic (well, another version but surely sort of the same:
http://web.archive.org/web/20051014171114/home.houston.rr.com/cjlectronics/schems/bluebox.jpg), lug 2 of the level pot goes to output. So if I would desolder lug 2 of the pot (or just cut a chunk out of the leg), solder a wire from the pot that goes as input to my small booster, and then reattach the output of my booster to the board (or remaining piece of lug remaining to the board I would be good?
I also have to figure a solution for the ground and 9v..
Now I see the adaptor lugs sticking out of the board a bit:
Could I just solder the ground and 9v to those?
Or do I have to ground it somewhere else? Like a lug of the pot that goes to ground?
Hope someone can help!
Thanks!
Marc
