Simple jfet Preamplifier – jBoZ

This project is my take on the very popular simple preamplifier posted by Nelson Pass back in 2007 on DiyAudio.

Introduction

We could consider this simple circuit a “modern” version of the older Bride of Zen preamplifier. It follows the same simplistic approach of using a single active device with minimal peripheral parts.

Here is the original schematic

This project is going to follow my implementation of the preamplifier, going through my take on both the schematic and the PCB.
