A smaller input capacitor results in less bass before transistor, a smaller output capacitor results in less bass after the transistor. Using one or both capacitor options results in a Treble boost pedal.
I'm getting some Jfets tomorrow, so I'll compared this circuit to a Jfet circuit.
Any advice on the sound, will be very welcome.
I can't listen to the clip at the moment but I will later.

Here's the Transistor pins for the C B E locations.
Pretty cool though I might have a cheeky go and put a couple of sockets on for diodes.

Edit: of course the various effects of having a lower impedance input are part of the whole sound and character of these basic boosters, so a high impedance input buffer isn't always what you want.
Many thanks for the good analysis, these circuits are very easy and safe 9volt builds for DIY'ers.
I liked this circuit, so here's a quick 50sec recording on sound cloud.
Here's the pin out for the jfet 2N5457.

(Just kidding I liked the playing and clip. I actually like jazz/blues, but it's a pretty easy target for TGP-lulz.)
Thanks for taking an interest, you could easily build one to suit your style.

I might give that a try actually.
What do you do, just screw them into that? (as you can tell I'm not exactly an electronics guru ) )
