Engager Boost Pedal Review

A simple, straightforward product, and just what I needed!

A good signal buffer and boost along with a great sounding EQ, all in the same convenient box. What's not to like? The illuminated knob position markers are pretty cool too, and you can turn them off if you're too "old school." Looks like a pretty clever battery mounting, but I'm using external power.

Best clean boostl/tone shaper

Was looking for a good clean boost.Ive had the ep booster and spark mini boost and just did not like the one knob design. Neither were transparent and no tone shape options.Ep booster added low end and added some mids. the spark mini boost added some high frequencies and neither could be dialed out.The fender engager is the most natural sounding and most tone shape options. you… read more can use as a super clean transparent boost or how like to use it into a gained Marshall,cut bass to tighten things up,add some mids but not overkill like a tube screamer. great sounding pedal and like it as much as my overdrive pedals.adds clarity,punch and thickness to your original tone if you dont need more gain,this is a great alternative to an overdrive pedal for beefing up your sound and still keeping your natural guitar tone when pushing an already gained tube amp.Like the easy to read dials and mid frequency switch! the pedal is larger then average but the tone is awesome! Money well spent!

Clean and Transparent

My goals for any type of boost is to stage the guitar signal for recording, or other preamp. This does exactly that. As first in the chain, this will boost your guitar signal without adding additional color or noise. While other boosts are actually just low drivers that add some crunch to your signal, I was able to push the level to the max without adding anything extra artifacts.… read more That is an essential while recording clean.

Very nice clean boost.

When you think of a clean boost, you may think of a single level knob and a foot switch. Well, this very clean boost is so much more. Most guitarists think you just need to be "Louder" during a solo. While that can and is true to some degree, there is more to it. Basically, you just need to be heard. The ability to be heard is not only dependent on volume, but it is mostly… read more being able to shape your solo tone to stand out in the mix. This is why this pedal is soooooo great. It allows you to boost frequencies you need to stand out in the mix, and allows you to cut frequencies that can become very harsh at increased volumes. The Bass, Mid, and Treble adjustments on this boot pedal make it not only a boot, but an EQ for your lead tone. And, the Mid Frequency switch allow you to choose where your the mid sweet spot is for your guitar. Fender and Stan have done a great job with their pedals, and this one is no exception. Great Job Fender!!!!!!!!

A Fender with an engaging boost

I was to able use my employer's employee recognition rewards to acquire this pedal through a different supplier than SW. Being a SW customer I thought I would share some feedback for others to review if considering; This is very a nice booster pedal. It has a very smooth sweep to its level setting. Very clean output, and the 3 band tone controls are responsive and shape the tone… read more nice with equal smooth sweep. It has a good weight about it so cables with twist in them don't move it around. The battery cover is slick. Its right up front and folds down to easily make a change. As well, hinges right back up in to place very solid. It worked well in series in the amp input, I've actually placed it in the beginning of the effects loop on my wet side amp. At 25% setting, it pushes my modulation effects a little harder providing a broader response. It even plays well with gain, whether the amps own lead channel or a pedal on the input or both. My only discerning feedback would be, the operating toe height is right at 3" if you use it on a pedal board.
