Boost 18 may be a clean booster, but it’s definitely not just a neutral active volume pedal. Our founder and Head Engineer, Steen Grøntved, has deliberately tweaked it to add flavor to your tone, and as a result, we have seen many players who actually use The Pusher as an always-on preamp pedal, simply because they love the natural tube-like sound of it. Now you can continue to do so with Boost 18, but also get an additional kick upwards when using it for boosting.
