Boost Pedals: Rocket Fuel for Your Guitar Tone
Boost pedals have been secret weapons in the hands of some legendary guitarists. And whether you’re talking about John Mayer with his solo-launching Keeley Katana or Mark Johnston with his always-on Benson Germanium Boost, the utility of a good boost pedal can’t be overstated.
So, what are boost pedals? These compact powerhouses goose your signal with up to +35dB of transparent gain, allowing you to easily sweet-spot amps and overdrives without dramatically altering your base tone. They’re also handy for level-matching multiple guitars across the same pedalboard.
Of course, boosts can do much more. A popular move is using a boost pedal to push the input of a high-headroom tube amp, unlocking richer harmonics and a natural tube breakup.
Want to craft a signature sound? Try stacking a boost before an overdrive or distortion pedal for added grit and sustain. Stepping forward for a solo? Kick on your boost, and you’ll cut through your mix with authority.
Although boost pedals are most common among blues, rock, and country guitarists, their versatility makes them a great fit for nearly any genre. Whether your goal is to strengthen a weak pickup, hot-rod a metal amp, or add a subtle sheen to your picking dynamics, you’ll find today’s leading assortment of clean and color boosts at Sweetwater. Try one out today!
