So, you’ve got a single channel amp, you’ve cranked it to achieve valve overdrive bliss, but you just want to take it to that next level for the solo. Or you have a great clean sound but just want to boost the gain a touch for the rhythm section – enter the ‘Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster’.
When pickup manufacturer Seymour Duncan first introduced the ‘Pickup Booster’, it was their first foray into the world of stomp box effects pedals. This pedal is designed to work specifically with the pickups in a guitar to add between 6dB and 25dB of gain to drive your amp into break-up and beyond. Featuring fully discrete class A circuitry along with true bypass to keep your tone intact this rugged booster pedal also features a resonance switch to make your single coil sound like a humbucker.
This pedal is not an overdrive pedal. This is a gain booster, it doesn’t lend its own tone to your sound - it just gives you more of what you already had. It’s the sound of your guitar and your amp – cranked harder.
