BBE Boosta Grande Guitar Effects Pedal
Price 79.99 - 115.00 USD
The Boosta Grande, a Guitar Player Editors Pick, is back in a new compact chassis to conserve space on your pedal board. A clean boost pedal does nothing but pile on gain, right? Well, some do, but that doesnt create the experience players want. You see, added gain will push the amps front end tubes harder, creating more of the amps own harmonics, but that alone will make the amp seem too bright, sacrificing the tonal balance in the process. Boosta Grande is a transparent clean boost because it doesnt change the tonal balance of the amp, even with Boostas max gain of +20dB slamming those tubes. To achieve a transparent boost experience, Boosta Grande mildly rolls off some top end starting at about 1kHz so that when the amps front end is driven harder with gain, the additional upper harmonics generated by the tubes arent excessive. Boosta Grandes mission to preserve an amps tonal balance ends with careful post-EQ, but it starts with preserving the tone of your guitar. Boosta Grandes 1meg Ohm input is about the same as the front end of a good Marshall or other premium tube amp, welcoming your guitars signal with wide-open arms, not loading down your pickups. In the middle of things, you can count on Boostas 1% metal-film resistors for consistent tone and a rugged circuit board for tour-proven reliability. When the Boosta isnt engaged, a properly engineered true hardwire bypass means signal passes entirely around the circuit, from input jack to output jack without a hint of loading.Up to +20dB of transparent clean boost 1MEG Ohms input impedance for proper pickup loading 1K Ohms output impedance when engaged 1% metal-film resistors for consistency High-voltage poly caps for better tone Military-spec circuit board for reliability Blue status LED for high visibility and low power consumption Easy access battery compartment True hardwire bypass 5-year warranty
