This video look at how we can improve the basic Clean Boost (see previous videos) into a product that could be suitable for a commercial market. This is achieved by redesigning the power section, swapping the Op Amp and including RC filters.

I am no expert in electronics, I remain a curious hobbyist. However, I have always been fascinated in learning how audio electronics works. Disassembling various radios as a kid and eventually becoming interested in designing and building guitar effects pedals. I attempt to understand how these systems operate electronically, and due to this approach, I have picked up a few bits of theory along the way. If you're unsure about it, my best advice is just get started, mistakes and corrections (and the occasionally popped component) is how we learn. You win or you learn

If you found this useful, want to correct my knowledge or want to know more about my DIY pedals and test gear leave a comment below.
