Clean Blade Boost v1.0 General guideline for components Capacitors: All values under 1nF should be ceramic disks. From 1nF up to 1uF should be SMF or MKT (foil/metal film capacitors) and over 1uF use electrolyte caps 35V+ rated and watch out for polarity! ...

Clean Blade Boost v1.0 If you want to make it a 100% copy of the original then you’ll need to replace VR2 and VR3 with 4k7 resistors. Connect these resistors between pin 2 and 3 of the VR’s. The Pins are clearly marked on the PCB.
Clean Blade Boost v1.0 Offboard wiring The LED requires a resistor (R led in the diagram) depending on the type of LED you are using. An ultra-bright red or blue LED requires a 1k5 resistor, a normal Green requires 680R and an ultra-bright Green might need a 4k7.
Clean Blade Boost v1.0 Biasing transistors To bias the boost to your liking you can turn trim pots VR2 and VR3 to get it set to your liking. The best way to start is to set them both to 4k7 between pin 2 and 3. This is the same value as the original and should work if you are using the 2N5484.
