Is there an easy way to add a high pass or low cut to the Confidence Boost circuit? Like just changing one of the caps or something?

(This is a guess, but I think I'm right.) You can usually cut lows by reducing the value of the output cap, which seems to be whatever cap is closest to the output on the schematic. This is a .1uF cap on the Confidence Booster, though, which seems lower than what I'm used to seeing as an output cap value. So it might be better to wait for someone more sure about their information to chime in. But I'm posting this anyway so I learn something too.

I would suggest reducing the value of the input coupling capacitor like it's done in a Range Master treble booster. That would be C1 in the CB schematic below. You could even experiment with lowering the value of C2 and leaving C1 as is.

Cool, thanks. Would you expect a difference in sound by changing C2 instead of C1?

The input coupling cap limits the amount of incoming lows to the circuit. I doubt which cap you replace will make much difference. You can always socket both and try replacing one at a time or even both to see what if any difference it makes. Once you decide on which configuration to go with you can solder the cap or caps into place for good measure.
