Boost 98
The Caswell Modern Electronics (CME) Boost 98 is a delightfully gritty and growly bass overdrive pedal that breathes new life into your low-end tone. Inspired by the beloved Boost 99 circuit, this pedal takes that classic warmth and reshapes it to unlock an entire extra octave of thunderous bass goodness. Where the original Boost 99 excels at pushing your amp into rich, creamy overdrive, the Boost 98 digs deeper, layering on a thick, satisfying grit that'll make your bandmates' eyebrows raise. But this isn't your typical one-note fuzz - the Boost 98's carefully voiced circuitry preserves the fundamental low-end punch that's essential for bass, ensuring your tone stays tight and defined, even when you crank the gain. Whether you're looking to fatten up your clean tone, or you want to inject some serious attitude into your overdriven sound, the Boost 98 delivers. Its intuitive control set makes it easy to dial in just the right amount of growl, while the true bypass switching ensures your precious low end stays intact when the pedal is disengaged. Beloved by bassists in genres ranging from metal to funk, the Boost 98 has become a secret weapon for players seeking a touch of vintage-inspired attitude without sacrificing their low-end authority. If you're ready to take your bass tone to new, grittier heights, this pedal is an absolute must-try.
