Seymour Duncan - It's All About Tone

The SFX-01 Pickup Booster was the first effects pedal designed by pickup guru Seymour Duncan, and was created specifically to work together with your guitar's pickups to achieve optimum gain and resonance for all tonal applications. The SFX-01 Pickup Booster works with all musical styles as a way to push the amp's input or as a clean volume boost. The internal circuitry is discrete Class A with true bypass, and it's built to withstand the rigors of the road. Boost your pickups with the SFX-01 Pickup Booster.

Seymour Duncan SFX-01 Pickup Booster at a Glance:

• How it works
  
• Important operational note

How it works
By rotating the gain control knob you can add pure, flat-EQ gain, ranging from 6dB to 25dB! The Resonance Switch drops the resonant peak of a single coil pickup up to 5KHz, making a single coil sound like a full and fat humbucker. Features fully discrete Class A circuitry along with true bypass. Comes in a heavy-duty steel chassis and runs on a single 9 volt battery.

Important operational note
For the Resonance Switch to work properly, the SFX-01 must be first in the signal chain using passive pickups and a standard guitar cable - not a wireless unit.
