Q: How do I use the Spark Mini Boost Pedal?

The Spark Mini Boost is incredibly simple to use, featuring just one "Level" knob. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the boost amount, adding more volume to your signal. The single footswitch offers two modes of operation: standard latching (press and release to toggle the effect on/off) or momentary (hold the footswitch for a temporary boost, release to disengage), thanks to its PrimeTime switching feature. It's designed for straightforward, effective volume enhancement.

Q: What is True Bypass and why is it important for the Spark Mini Boost?

True Bypass means that when the pedal is off, your guitar signal passes directly through without any electronic interference. This ensures your original tone remains completely unaffected and pure when the boost isn't engaged. It's a crucial feature for maintaining signal integrity in your pedal chain.

Q: What kind of power supply does the Spark Mini Boost Pedal require?

The Spark Mini Boost Pedal operates on a standard 9V DC power supply, which is sold separately. It does not use batteries, ensuring consistent performance. Sweetwater offers a wide selection of compatible power supplies to keep your pedalboard running smoothly.

Good things don't always come in BIG packages, simple, beautiful and practical. Nicely enhancing the volume without any distortion.
Does exactly what it's intended for. Love it.

Great little pedal with tons of boost on tap. You can run it in front of a tube amp or on the FX loop or after a BOSS IR-2 amp and cab sim or to a mixer (see photo). It does its job everywhere. For extra gain, put it in front of tube amp. For true volume boost use it in FX loop. Good value!

What amazing buster pedal, I really appreciated the sound, the best that I've tried. The delivery was faster, thank you Sweetwater.

This pedal is true to its name - a spark plug so to speak. Nice clean, tone-true boost to your signal. I use this primarily at 25% as a 5 dB boost for lead/solo situations. I have it placed after tube driver pedals, last in my chain before noise gate on the way to my Catalyst 60 instrument input (pre-amp). I've also placed it in front of my Hot Tubes OD pedal to drive that even deeper into dirt, a real juicy application of this pedal.

Have a Marshall ?
Buy it. Yes clean it offers +20db of boost. Where is shines is boosting a Marshall with gain. Adds mids and low mids to your guitar !
But only 5 to 10 db with gain.
All you need for solo boost.

Mitch Gallagher

Need a little boost in your guitar playing? Then here's the solution: the brand-new tc electronic Spark Mini Boost! The Spark Mini Boost is a clean boost pedal in a compact enclosure - I love these little "bantam"-sized pedals; they allow you to put together a small pedalboard that still has plenty of power. Perfect for "grab it and go" rigs and gigs. But small size doesn't indicate a lack of performance. The Spark Mini Boost offers 20dB of gain and transparent sound quality with just a hint of beef in the lower mids. My favorite setup is to run the Spark Mini Boost into an amp that's running just on the verge of breakup. When you really dig in with the pick, you get a nice crunch, but lighten up, and the tone is clean. Then, with the Spark Mini Boost set to 12 o'clock, you get a nice jump in volume, a fatter tone, and a nice singing breakup that's perfect for dynamic leads. I like to have a clean boost pedal on my pedalboard, but real estate is always an issue. Now, with the Spark Mini Boost, I can always include a great boost pedal without taking up hardly any space at all. Highly recommended!
