Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Pigtronix Class A Boost is a compact boost and preamp with up to 20 dB of clean gain. It accepts instrument- and line-level signals and can sit anywhere in a pedal chain when a part needs more output or punch. Put it before an overdrive or distortion pedal to push the next stage harder, or send it into the front end of a tube amp. It operates at 9 V or 18 V DC, with 18 V offering greater headroom.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Placing a boost before a distortion pedal to create a more aggressive crunch setting.
- Adding output and punch to a classic overdrive sound within a pedal chain.
- Driving the front end of a tube amp with additional level.
