9 Document Revisions INTRODUCTION The Cadmus Dual Boost is based on the ZVEX Super Duper, which is two of their SHO boost circuits in series and independently switchable. The SHO is an extremely simple MOSFET booster, small enough that even two of them together have fewer components than most single effects. -
