FAD Custom Design Classic Boost
The FAD Custom Design Classic Boost is a delightfully unassuming pedal that packs a serious punch. Don't let its simple, vintage-inspired aesthetic fool you - this is a precision-engineered boost with a complex sonic personality. At its core, the Classic Boost is a transparent, high-headroom preamp that can push your amp into glorious, singing overdrive. But what sets it apart is the attention to detail in its circuit design. FAD's engineers have meticulously tuned the frequency response to accentuate the harmonically rich midrange that gives classic rock and blues tones their bite and presence. Crank the level knob and you'll be rewarded with a thick, dynamic boost that can thicken up your sound, fatten up your leads, or slam the front end of your amp for a thunderous, saturated tone. The pedal's true-bypass switching ensures your core guitar tone remains uncolored when it's disengaged. While the Classic Boost may not have the bells and whistles of more modern boost pedals, its simplicity is part of its charm. Legendary blues-rock guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan was known to use a similar design to push his Fender amps into iconic, scorching overdrive. If it was good enough for SRV, it's certainly good enough for the discerning player seeking an organic, amp-like boost.
