Boosta Grande BG-20
The all-analog Boosta Grande, a Guitar Player Editor’s Pick, is back in a
new mini chassis to conserve space on your pedal board.
A clean boost pedal does nothing but pile on gain, right? Well, some do,
but that doesn’t create the experience players want. You see, added
gain will push the amp’s front end tubes harder, creating more of the
amp’s own harmonics, but that alone will make the amp seem too bright,
sacrificing the tonal balance in the process.
You see, we call Boosta Grande a “transparent clean boost” because it
doesn’t change the tonal balance of the amp, even with Boosta’s 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 amp’s front end is driven harder with gain,
the additional upper harmonics generated by the tubes aren’t excessive.
Boosta Grande’s mission to preserve amp amp’s tonal balance ends with
careful post-EQ, but it starts with preserving the tone of your guitar.
Boosta Grande’s 1meg Ohm input is about the same as the front end of a
good Marshall or other premium tube amp, welcoming your guitar’s signal
with wide-open arms, not loading down your pickups. In the middle of
things, you can count on Boosta’s 1% metal-film resistors for consistent
tone and a rugged circuit board for tour-proven reliability. When the
Boosta isn’t 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.
When a transparent boost is the experience you’re after, get a Boosta
Grande and let your amp’s tubes sing their song with more gusto.
