Gold Boost

BOOSTER

Description

Boosters are usually very simple in design – yet often the most versatile and important component of a pedalboard. This is especially true of the 100% analog Gold Boost, as its high input impedance (approx. 4.7 MOhm) activates even the last, long-forgotten high frequencies of your guitar. Many compare this effect to a curtain being drawn back in front of the amplifier. Thanks to its super-linear frequency response, the Gold Boost can also be used purely as a buffer when the single control is set all the way to the left, as it converts the instrument signal with high input impedance into an output signal with extremely low impedance at the highest sound level. This way, the signal retains full transparency, strength, and dynamics, as well as its full tone, even with long cable runs and complex effects setups. At higher boost values ​​above the 12 o'clock position of the control, the high frequencies are slightly attenuated, which sounds significantly better when overdriving a (tube) amp.
