Analog Booster

UTILIZATION

1 Button boost

SOUND QUALITY

I placed Xotic BB Preamp before and it makes me BBpreamp 2 channels the more saturated when the boost j'enclenche LPB1 excellent grain, it makes the booster at 37 euros

OVERALL OPINION

The LPB1 Staur at noon with humbuckers but with such simple Telecaster boost it in clean, well it depends disosns it is not a hyper Boost clean and transparent kind Boost / Line Driver MXR home, but it can add Additional sound key upstream distos, overdrives. Placed downstream it would sound strat 50/60 years just yucky on the treble.
A eesayer it's worth it anyway

boost. 1 Knob, you turn, it works ...

UTILIZATION

The manual, I did not understand, there were none, I struggled a bit ... There is no arrow indicating which direction you should turn the knob ... I stop going there.
1 Knob = 1 pot.

SOUND QUALITY

There I was a bit more mixed.
Yes it is clever, we do not want to spend too much on (because we do not have much ...) for CAE (hey that reminds me of my TAF) to 98 € ... Bah, so there was not a straight thing.
Yes the lpb-1 colors the sound, so it adds a little distortion, yes it is 39 € ... That being said.
I tested in 2 config. Mine (5150 and boost in the loop) where the volume is very sensitive and the amp of a friend (caliber 50 +) I was super nice sound with the single caliber, then I settled into the lead lpb1 crunch and with the amp before it is passed as lead ... Quick 3 channels now! So, it depends on situations, but I think it stands up very well.

OVERALL OPINION

2 months after having had, at first I hesitated to return, then I said we should give him a chance. I did well.
Unbeatable value for money except DIY (it's not complicated, for that matter ...). Go 9 because his name is LINEAR POWER BOOSTER ... Na.

a booster of all that is simpler


UTILIZATION

I use it early in the chain to make the same volume compared to my Gretsch guitars I already own
very simple to use:
1 switch
1 volume

SOUND QUALITY

for my gretsch sound is perfect no sound distorted
I tried it with my Start and I'm afraid the highs are gone!
but hey I bought it and test for the gretsch and it did!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 months
she does wonders with the gretsch
care to try it before buying it because the sound is very different according to different guitars (not good at all with my Start!)
I would make the same choice for my gretsch

see other reviews

UTILIZATION

use could not be more simple.
Note that where the action is the most transparent is when placed in the effects loop.

SOUND QUALITY

Relatively neutral (hard to tell whether the small change is due to saturation of the lamps or staining of the pedal), headroom énoooorme!
Again, place the loop of effects!

OVERALL OPINION

Why pay more?
It is really solid and more
10/10! Clean sweep for MXR!

then it is a boost pedal with a button to toggle off and a boost button adjustable power boost.

it plugs into a jack like distortion pedal and others.

The case is very solid metal.

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use .... the power set point and snap the line.

TFW manual ..... for gogol ...

SOUND QUALITY

then I bought it for more power in my slap (slap death metal ...)

used with a warwick 5 string Bubinga active.

This pedal is monstrous it gives a terrible power.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 15 days.

I have tried many models for more than 80 euros and 28 euros boom happiness.

Excellent value for money I would do this choice.

EDIT: huge mass problem ... she almost farted my speakers! good repair, but beware! absolutely huge buzz!

It is a boost analog so ...

UTILIZATION

One knob, one understands quickly the operation ...

SOUND QUALITY

The volume is not super progressive, up to a quarter of the race there and nothing happens beyond it starts to boost frankly.

I use it between my pedals and amp for solo passages to increase the volume.

It adds a little gain to the input of the amp, I find it slightly dirty sound that is really not a problem in live use.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about two years.

Like its effectiveness and price.

If I were doing the same budget I will start again without hesitation.

With a little more money I'll look for a pedal instead of approaching Rangemaster)

Pedal to the simplest expression! An output jack, a jack for external power supply, switch on / off true bypass and a control knob, you die easier! Pedal exudes strength, nothing to say.

UTILIZATION

So there it is very simple, we choose the level of the boost by adjusting the knob at least a minimum of boost and the higher you go the more boost!
Any other questions?

SOUND QUALITY

The boost is very transparent, it does not color your sound simply adds the level of output, effective for a solo boost. It is placed just before my pedal Barber "direct drive" to just give him a kick in the c. ..., when I turn to solo.
What else to say except that the true bypass is a plus because the signal remains the original one when the pedal is inactive.

OVERALL OPINION

I was looking for a boost pedal cheap, reliable and simple (they are all singles), found to OCCAZ on AudioFanzine for 30 € is the best deal I've ever done a long time .
I use it for several months now and probably for a long time. Simple and effective

It is a boost ...

UTILIZATION

Config simple: two jacks, a knob and a switch ...
A graduation and a knob a bit less sensitive, however, would have been a plus.

SOUND QUALITY

While there, I love it!
Gradually, this little pedal I become totally indispensable.
I use it early in the chain. Initially, I just wanted to boost the drive channel of my amp (which also works very well).
But ultimately, I also use it regularly on the clean channel. With humbuckers, and I get a slight crunch.
And with a Start or Tele, I get a warmer, more mellow, with even more dynamic, without any distortion either. MA-GI-QUE! Very good!
I can not consider myself out of this little trick!

So in terms of defects, one might say it is not totally transparent ... but Me, I prefer to put that on behalf of its qualities as it brings a little something I found ... spellbinding.
In short, this is obviously subjective, but as level grain level gaming experience, I think it's great.

OVERALL OPINION

I use daily for 2 years.
I tried other models, but it did not have this "mojo".
Level value for money, nothing to say and do it again if I buy it back of course! A real discovery, this pedal!
