News
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® pickup sound similar to a vintage humbucker or even a high-output humbucker.
Gain range: 6 to 25 dB
Pickup Resonance Switch: Makes a single coil sound like a vintage humbucker ("1") or high output humbucker ("2").
"1" - Resonance shift down 2-3kHz
"0" - Resonance is not affected
"2" - Resonance shifts down 3-5kHz
Bypass: True bypass
Noise: -120 dBV (referred to input with gain set at 25dB)
Type of circuitry: Fully discrete, class A
Distortion: < 0.1%
Power: DC 9-12 V battery, or regulated DC adapter
Current consumption: 3.5mA @ 9V (when LED is "on"), 1.5mA @ 9V (when LED is "off")
Input impedance: 500K (when effect is "on"), Open (when effect is "off")
Output impedance: 5K ohms
Dimensions (W x L x H): 2.5 x 5 x 2 in. (6.35 x 12.7 x 5.08 cm)
Weight: 0.8 lb. Without battery, 0.9 lb. With battery
Chassis material: Heavy duty 1.6 mm steel

We all know Seymour Duncan knows pickups, but they know stompboxes just as well. The Pickup Booster is a clean boost plus a little something extra. Sure, there's the expected flat-EQ boost (up to 25db!), but with a simple flick of the three-position "P/U Resonance" control, your single coils will sound like vintage, or even high-output, humbuckers!

Seymour Duncan SFX01 Customer Review
Feature:
Clean boost AND settings to change the tone of a single coil pickup to sound like a humbucker. I haven't played with that though.
Quality:
Like a rock
Value:
Got it used at half off, can't complain at all
Sound:
I'm not sure how to rank this as it doesn't actual change your sound, just cleanly boost it.
Ease of Use:
On/off, how much boost.
Support:
N/A
Overall:
This is mostly in response to the review below mine. I can't have this decent pedal have a terrible review for it. It probably didn't do anything for his amp because his amp is a piece. If you have a tube amp it will definately over-drive it, that's what all clean boosts do. It's great for bumping up your volume for a solo, or boosting a weak pickup. Single coil's always sound quieter than humbuckers, I use the pedal to boost my strat to the same vol as my Les Paul. Perfect for switching guitars, otherwise the singl coil won't push the amp and other pedals the same.

Seymour Duncan SFX01 Customer Review
Feature:
I use a power supply - not batteries. Works great
Quality:
On/Off Button should be replaced with the method used on BOSS pedals, which is a quiter on/off, and doesn't wear out.
Sound:
I use it to boost my trombone volume for solos. I WANT a clean boost in volume to have my sound clear & loud, to be heard over the R&B band I play with. Product would be better if when on, it allowed you a range of volume from totally off to very loud. There is not enough sensitivity in the first quarter turn of the volume knob. Product is clean with no background noise, which is a good thing. I haven't found another product that will do the job any better.
Ease of Use:
Very easy to use
Support:
Company very nice.
