This boost pedal works with your pickups to give you your desired amount of gain. It can make a single coil pickup sound like a humbucker.

The first effects pedal designed specifically to work together with the pickups in your instrument to achieve optimum gain and resonance for all your tonal applications.

Turn the knob to dial in pure, flat-EQ gain, ranging from 6dB, all the way to an astonishing 25dB! In addition, the Pickup Booster can add thickness to a single coil pickup. By engaging the Resonance Switch, the resonant peak of a single coil pickup can be lowered, making a Strat(R) pickup sound similar to a vintage humbucker or even a high-output humbucker.

The search for the perfect clean-boost pedal is over. This is it. Even if you never use the resonance shifting, the clean boost does exactly what one should do: boost the signal without coloring the sound. The resonance shifting is just icing on an already awesome cake!
Sound
This thing is exactly what the manufacturer says it is. I bought it to thicken-up my single coil strat pickups when needed. No, it doesn't make a strat sound like a les paul, but it does make it sound like a strat with humbuckers. ...Which is perfect! I can have single coil sweetness, or, click the button and get humbucker bite when needed. I find myself using the clean boost even when not using the resonant shift. It really brings out that strat "sparkle and chime" on clean amp settings. This pedal should come with every single-coil guitar sold.
Features
n/a. I guess a power supply would be cool, but few pedals come with one anyway.
Ease of Use
The pedal is completely transparent. A blind monkey could use this and it would sound great.
Quality
Built like a tank.
Value
Worth every penny. Best pedal I ever bought!
Manufacturer Support
n/a. Perfect out of the box. Never needed to contact them.
The Wow Factor
"Sex appeal?" We're talking about a pedal, right? I like the red color... But we've agreed to keep the relationship professional.
