Awesome booster

Nick Sexton 06.12.2021

With this thing I can make a high gain monster from my Orange OR50 or OCD overdrive. A lot of output power and flexible EQ (and very useful low cut switch). Maybe if you know what boosting profile do you need you can find a cheaper option but if you don't - this thing is a great choice. I am enjoying it a lot.

It is

Motherspot 23.02.2021

A quite responsive pedal. At first i did put it in front of the chain..right after the compressor..before overdrive and the rest.,,,however..when i turned the knobs up, after 12... I heard a crackling sound...very irritating...i did not know where it came from.....started to experiment in where to place it...i now have it at the end of the chain..right before it enters the amp....the results are a lot better that way. For now i decided to keep it. It's not a cheap pedal for what it does imo...i guess that's because it's hand made in the US. But I am happy now with the sound, It def enhances the overall atmosphere the guitar generates...

Is It worth that money?

thomannhero 16.01.2024

First, of all, this is a good pedal. It has great design, the controls are easily understandable, the sound is pretty great too. I tried it in concerts with electric guitar and in recording studio with electric-acoustic guitar. And honestly, it does give more of a round, robust sound to the instruments. It has a very good responsive eq, you can boost your mids as much as you want, and honestly it can be used as a decent sounding overdrive. I tried a lot of variations with this pedal and honestly everything sounds pretty decent.
I guess the main issue for me would be, that this pedal is a bit noisy. You would need a very good power supply to erase all the hiss. I was supplying this pedal with Mooer power supply with a channel of 200mA. This pedal, as it is written, draws 45.5mA. So, it should work just fine. But,alas, it still has noise.
Will try with other power supplies and will see how it goes. I do like this pedal actually. Again, it sounds great and it's easy to control. Is It worth that money? if no hiss, - yes :)

It's a permanent member now of my pedal-team.
A real no-brainer for me now.
