My Favorite Boost Pedal!

This is a killer boost pedal! What makes it stank out is the EQ section, it makes all the difference! Clean boosts boost all frequencies, bass, mid and treble, there are situations where this can be a bad thing. I use a clean boost after the preamp as a volume boost for leads which works great, but boosting the full range of guitar frequencies in the scenario makes any muddy or harsh frequencies stick out too. The flexible EQ on this pedal fixes that issue, that's why I love it, it's the perfect boost pedal, plenty loud and great tone IMO!

Clean boost, adds clarify, nice EQ option

Very happy with this clean boost, adds flexibility and control plus a nice tonal EQ option that just works as it should. Simple, effective, game changer for an analog pedalboard.

MXR MICRO AMP

Excellent, working with all kind amplifier.
Rated 5/5

One of the best ever!

This boost is one of the greatest boost designs ever conceived. The EQ makes this boost a champ in any spot in the signal chain. Easy to use and great tone, it can push pedals or amps into distortion or boost volume with ease, worth every penny.

You don’t know what you’re missing

Great pedal with multiple uses! Here's what I found:

-Front end clean channel: incredible amount of volume boost while gradually pushing the preamp tube into clipping. It's fun to find that sweet spot where you have a little bite/grit. Great for RHCP-like cleans. Even at lower gain settings, it adds a sort of fullness to the sound.

-Front end overdrive channel: works as an amazing gain boost. It does not color the tone at all! This pedal is a perfect choice if you are tired of OD/Distortion pedals that always warp your tone…
Of course you can add/remove treble and bass if needed to get a perfect sound dialed in. Set your amp to a classic AC/DC crunch and then engage the pedal to open up a thick lead sound for solos.

-Through back end/effects loop- seems to mostly add volume rather than gain to both channels. Perfect if you want to have a louder preset volume for lead breaks/solos while playing in a band.

A pedal every rocker should own!
