<p>The Pickup Booster is for when you love the sound of your guitar but you need a little more: more output, more gain or just a little more control over your guitar&rsquo;s voice without changing its fundamental character. Think of it as sending your guitar to the gym.</p> <p>A true-bypass pedal with a class A, low-noise circuit design, Pickup Booster can be used to dial in the tone you need for every situation. It will emphasize your guitar&rsquo;s natural tone while adding some muscle and fatness. It uses a discrete push-pull output stage for increased drive capability, so even with the Gain knob down to 0dB your signal chain will sound cleaner &ndash; even with long cable runs &ndash; essentially acting as a buffer on your pedalboard.</p> <p>Need a humbucker sound out of that vintage Strat? The Resonance Switch makes the pedal interact directly with your pickups, allowing your single coils to emulate either a chunky humbucker sound perfect for classic rock or blues or a high-output tone for rip-roaring solos. If you&rsquo;re using humbuckers, Position 1 will give your guitar a little more &lsquo;teeth,&rsquo; while Position 2 gives you a hint of that &lsquo;cocked-wah&rsquo; tone filter vibe which is great for leads.</p> <p>Like all of our pedals, Pickup Booster is designed and assembled at our Santa Barbara, California factory by the same team responsible for our legendary pickups.</p> <ul> <li>Type of circuitry: Fully discrete, Class A</li> <li>Gain range: 0 to 25 dB</li> <li>Bypass: True bypass</li> <li>Pickup Resonance Switch: Makes a single coil pickup sound like a vintage humbucker (&ldquo;1&rdquo;) or high output humbucker (&ldquo;2&rdquo;).</li> <li>Frequency Response: -3dB at 30Hz and 38 kHz</li> <li>Distortion: &lt; 0.02% at 200mV RMS output</li> <li>Noise: -120 dBV (referred to input with gain set at 25dB)</li> <li>Input impedance: 250K Ohms (when effect is &ldquo;on&rdquo;)</li> <li>Output impedance: 150 Ohms</li> <li>Power: 9V battery or external 9 to 18V Regulated DC Adapter (center negative)</li> <li>Current consumption: 4.5mA @ 9V (when LED is &ldquo;on&rdquo;), 3mA @ 9V (when LED is &ldquo;off&rdquo;).
