Diamond Pedals Boost/EQ
The concept for Diamond Pedals' Boost/EQ began in the early 2000s, with a request for a 'compression-less' version of the famed Diamond Compressor - combining a clean boost circuit with the Compressor's Tilt EQ. Nearly 20 years after the resulting original pedal's launch, we've re-imagined this idea on the same platform as the Comp/EQ. Introducing the next-generation Diamond Boost/EQ. This versatile, low-noise pedal delivers a punchy, dynamic sound that's ideal for any set-up.
Features:
- Boost and Equalizer Effects Pedal
- Added Boost/OD switch - for selecting between clipping options
- Up: Clean boost for increased signal output
- Down: Adds soft clipping for a transparent and musical low to mid gain overdrive
- Up to +20 dB of Clean Boost on tap in Boost mode
- 800 Hz +/- 6dB Tilt EQ Fulcrum Frequency
- 800 Hz +/- 10dB Mid EQ Center Frequency
- Top-mounted jacks and soft touch relay switching
- True Bypass
- Hand-made in Montreal, Canada
- Powered by a regular 9-18 V DC PSU
Taking the lively, high-fidelity gain stages of the Comp/EQ, the Boost/EQ offers plenty of punch while maintaining clarity and transparency. While the Tilt and Mid controls give you complete freedom to sculpt your tone. In addition, the Boost/EQ features a second mode that provides a low-gain overdrive - transparent, yet full of character.
The Boost/EO offers 2 distinct modes of operation. The first is a clean boost mode designed to increase the output of your signal enabling you to beef-up low-output pickups, drive tube amps and dirt pedals for increased sustain and saturation or simply have your solos jump out in the mix. Set to the OD mode, the gain structure of the pedal is modified and soft clipping diodes are added to the circuit. This provides smooth, transparent, musical distortion that ranges from just a touch of hair and harmonic overtones, to a nice low to mid gain overdrive.
Depending on where your Boost/EO is placed in your signal chain, it will either deliver an increase in volume or distortion/saturation. Place it at the end of your pedal chain or in an amp's series FX loop for a volume boost. Put it in front of your drives and fuzzes for more gain and distortion.
