Black IceBoost Battery-Free Onboard Guitar Boost
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Put the Black Ice Boost inside an electric guitar for fingertip control of a clean midrange lift, with no battery to manage. Select the first stage for +4 dB, or engage the second for a total of +7 dB. Its midrange emphasis is aimed at adding body and level to single-coil-equipped Strat- and Tele-style guitars, and it can also push an amp toward saturation. The compact module installs without routing or soldering in most electric-guitar cavities.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adding a selectable clean level lift from the guitar during solos or amp-breakup passages
- Giving Strat- and Tele-style single-coil sounds more midrange body and presence
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitars whose electronics cavities cannot accommodate a module about two-thirds the size of a 9V battery
