There was some controversy over this pedal from Fulltone as the circuit is practically identical to the Jack Orman Mini-Booster. Fulltone no longer makes this version of the Fat Boost and now makes a 4-control version with an extra FET stage and more EQ controls. Regardless, it's a great pedal for beefing up your tone.
The perf and PCB layouts are slightly different. I was able to give the components more breathing room on the PCB that wouldn't be feasible on perf.

ReplyDeleteI think you should reverse the 3u3 cap.
ReplyDeleteQ2 gate voltage is lower than the source.
I’ve been getting a popping noise. I am fairly new to this so is the 1M my pull down resistor?
ReplyDeleteYou can try upping the 1M resistor coming off Pre-Gain 2 or add another pull down resistor to the output. Sometimes though it's just a poppy switch. YMMV
DeleteThanks, man. I’ll try it today. Long time listener, first time caller. Lol thanks for doing all these. It’s been really fun to get into.
