Midrange/DB boost. How do you do it?

[Frantic_Rock]

Hey guys I have a strat and I have a master volume, and master tone on it. I'm thinking of putting a master midrange boost on it. I know nothing about them. How do they work? Is it a whole kit with a battery that you buy?


Has anyone tried them?

I belive they use a pot with a middle "lock-in" position at 5, right?

It sounds cool because you can play rhythm and then for your lead sound boost yourself up a tad when you step on the OD channel and get to work.

Any information/links would be appreciated!

Depends Which System. The later 80´s Jackson MidBoost Preamp is the only circuit in that direction I´ve had experience with, and it uses (depending on axe) either a pot or a miniswitch for the cut /Boost.

They seem to work best with lower output pickups for most folks, though. I use a Dime in mine, but it´s also completely over the top even when not boosted

You could do it on your amp by doubling the value of the mid tone pot...of course, that's a bit more complicated.
