Atomic Boost
Swart Amplifiers' Atomic Boost is a modern take on a legendary guitar tone-shaping tool - the Dallas Rangermaster treble booster. This handcrafted pedal packs the same mojo as its vintage inspiration, but with some key upgrades that make it an even more versatile and reliable workhorse. At the heart of the Atomic Boost is a carefully selected, NOS (new old stock) Mullard OC44 transistor - the secret sauce that gives the Rangermaster its revered, singing midrange punch and touch-sensitive response. Swart has optimized the circuit to reduce radio frequency interference, ensuring your tone stays pristine even in high-gain rigs. The Atomic Boost offers two boost modes - a "mid" setting that accentuates your guitar's natural midrange, and a "full" setting that provides a broader, more aggressive boost. An optional "high" boost switch further tweaks the tonality, trading some midrange for extra sparkle and presence. This flexibility makes the Atomic Boost a chameleon, able to seamlessly transition from a subtle tone enhancer to a high-gain lead booster. Guitarists in the know have long revered the Rangermaster's unique voice, with players like Rory Gallagher and Brian May using it to craft their iconic tones. The Swart Atomic Boost pays homage to this legacy while bringing the classic design into the 21st century. It's a must-have for any guitarist seeking to unlock new sonic dimensions from their rig.
