Does anyone have any experience good or bad with these pedals? Do they introduce noise into your rig? What is your intended use of the effect? Is there another answer?
When running wireless six string I loose a bit of gain. I'd like to bring it up a bit without changing anything else, tone, overdrive etc.
Thanks,
RH |

I have the Duncan boost and bought it to drive the front end of my tweed champ clone a bit harder. It has a bunch of clean boost (24 db I believe) and is very well built. It has a switch supposed to make single coils sound like humbuckers ( yeah right) but doesn't really. What it does do is take the signal from a vintage style tele pickup and slam the front end of your amp with humbucker like power while retaining the single coil tone. Next to my Keely compressor, it's the pedal that's not going anywhere.
It will easily double the output of a Champ. I generally don't like overdrive from pedals. This will have the tubes working overtime. |

Custom Audio Electronics "Boost/Line Driver" is a
very good clean boost,I have one in my big board
to make up for signal loss in the chain of non-
buffered pedals,but it could put to service as a
means of crispier tone & volume boost,it´s a very
nice unit.McUtsi |
