Analog Boost pedal.

In an input, an output Out. A single knob Gain: hard to easy!

UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple archi-.
Depending on the place attributed to him in the chain effect, different parts of the race will be the most appropriate single pot, once found your preference is the kind of adjustment that we will rarely touch.

SOUND QUALITY

This booster is not completely transparent. For those looking for it, MXR has released another great boost in collaboration with Bob Bradshaw / Custom Audio Electronics.
The Micro Amp meanwhile, brings a slight sheen in the treble, much appreciated! This is useful for a solo boost or just to add a little something personal has its sound. It's simple: mine is on almost constantly, and adds a dose of sacred fishing crunch of my Fender Blues Junior!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it now for about two weeks, on my guitars. I was not specifically gone to get a boost, is already well supplied with drives (TS808 Ibanez, Boss OD1 and Proco Rat), but an opportunity with a 39 euros, I jumped on it and I do not regret not at !
Of course such a tariff has the price / quality ratio is unbeatable, however, I think I can say that even new, this pedal is worth it.

I have tried the MXR Boost / Line Driver (excellent, the one) and the Electro Harmonix LPB1 (amazing, but apparently fragile). But the non-transparency of the Micro Amp adds some magic to my sound: hard to part with it now!
