Manufacturer's Description for Seymour Duncan SFX01 Pickup Booster Boost Pedal

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. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Seymour Duncan products.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Must-have pedal"

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. Feature: 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. Overall: 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!

Style of Music: Covers (Rock/Motown/ Hip Hop/ Country...)

Sound: I'm not sure how to rank this as it doesn't actual change your sound, just cleanly boost it. 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. Ease of Use: On/off, how much boost. Quality: Like a rock Value: Got it used at half off, can't complain at all Manufacturer 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.
