One of the best ever!

This boost is one of the greatest boost designs ever conceived. The EQ makes this boost a champ in any spot in the signal chain. Easy to use and great tone, it can push pedals or amps into distortion or boost volume with ease, worth every penny.

You don’t know what you’re missing

Great pedal with multiple uses! Here's what I found: -Front end clean channel: incredible amount of volume boost while gradually pushing the preamp tube into clipping. It's fun to find that sweet spot where you have a little bite/grit. Great for RHCP-like cleans. Even at lower gain settings, it adds a sort of fullness to the sound. -Front end overdrive channel: works as an amazing… read more gain boost. It does not color the tone at all! This pedal is a perfect choice if you are tired of OD/Distortion pedals that always warp your tone… Of course you can add/remove treble and bass if needed to get a perfect sound dialed in. Set your amp to a classic AC/DC crunch and then engage the pedal to open up a thick lead sound for solos. -Through back end/effects loop- seems to mostly add volume rather than gain to both channels. Perfect if you want to have a louder preset volume for lead breaks/solos while playing in a band. A pedal every rocker should own!

Perfect, transparent boost in the effects loop

I bought this little gem at the recommendation from Dave Friedman himself. I was inquiring to have him add a 3rd "boost" channel in one of my 2 channel Friedman amps that I could use to boost solos when playing live. He said although he could, he suggested getting this pedal would accomplish the same thing for much cheaper (how f'n cool is that!?) Well, I'm happy to report this… read more absolutely fit the bill! Doesn't color the tone and with the added tone controls on this + model over the original, allows you to dial it in a bit more to taste. This absolutely accomplished my goal and seriously acts as a 3rd channel to my Friedman Wildwood 20 amp!

Love this thing!

I bought this to replace my OCD. I wasn't sure it would be good enough but I was way wrong. This thing is awesome! The treble and bass controls are super responsive and easy to shape your tone with. The gain does what it says. If I were to change anything about this pedal, I'd want there to be just 4-5db more gain. Other than that, it's perfect for my Mesa!
