Distortion, Dirt, Grit, Chunk, Fuzz, Overdrive, Grind

It goes by many names, comes in many flavours and they’re all good. Unfortunately, finding that sweet spot isn’t so easy with vintage pedals. You need to deal with noise, signal loss, tones that can change with battery life and even the temperature on stage. Some of those old Germanium-powered effects are more sensitive than a train-car of nitro.

Tech 21’s all-analogue circuitry squeezes righteous, vintage tones out of every Boost Series pedal with modern dependability. Designed and built from the ground up utilising the best individually-selected, hand-biased discreet components, each unit delivers optimised performance with studio-quiet operation. And we call them Boost pedals for a reason. Alongside a wealth of hot, driven tones, there is a powerful boost function that delivers up to an incredible 21dB of clean boost, which can be used independently from the effect. It is a true post-boost, punching up the tone you dialled in, not smothering it in unwanted distortion. From the high-impedance input to the sweepable low-pass filter in the tone control, your tone will be open and controllable in every setting.
