SHO as internal efx booster: power filtering

traktop
This post was updated on .
I want to use a zvex SHO as a internal booster in order to get a little more volume of a 9v Sunn Model T preamp build.
Should I omit the 47uf power filter cap as the other circuit already has one?
And what about the 1m pulldown resistor?
Cheers, Gilberto.

I would say that you don't need the power filtering cap or the pulldown resistor (unless the SHO is the first stage - in that case you want the pulldown to remain).  You could also tack on a FET, BJT, or Op Amp gain stage at the end of the preamp to get more signal strength.

Thanks.
I thought about the sho as post-gain booster since seemed the more transparent and is small enough.
Cheers, Gilberto.
