Description

The “Boostache” is an overdrive pedal with some of the qualities of a TS style pedal, but with a wider frequency range. Featuring two sides, the Drive side and the Boost side! The two sides can work independently or cascaded, with the boost going into the drive, resulting in boosting the gain of the overdrive.

 

 

 

DRIVE side 

The circuit topology of the drive has a lot of similarities with the well known TubeScreamer. The idea behind the character of this overdrive was to make a TS style pedal that can stand on its own as an overdrive pedal, which means that the pedal had to have some of the qualities of a TS style pedal. Cutting down low and high frequencies and boosting mainly the mids, it also meant that it should be able to go further than that and work at a wider frequency spectrum. Another crucial factor was that it needed more gain, but it had to be usable, not muddy and all over the place. In addition, the overall frequency response of the pedal had been slightly shifted with a more “upper-mid” focus.

Controls

  • LEVEL: Controls the level of the overdrive
  • TONE: Adjusts the overall tone of the overdrive
  • DRIVE: Sets the gain of the overdrive. From clean to high overdrive
  • Toggle BASS: Expands the lower frequency response, letting more bass frequencies go through.
  • Toggle TR/LE: Expands the higher frequency response, making it brighter.
  • Footswitch: Engage/ bypass the effect

BOOST side

The boost effect, which comes before the overdrive effect, is a silicon transistor-based boost, clean but hot enough to boost overdrive pedals and amps into a sweet break up. The tone control allows it to go from treble boost to heavy bass boost, which makes the boost itself really versatile with a huge variety of tonal possibilities. When engaged alone, it gives a level boost but combined with the overdrive, it adds more gain and sustain, perfect for a round creamy lead tone.

Controls

TONE: Adjusts the tone of the boost

BOOST: Adjusts the level of the boost. When boost is engaged alone, it will boost the level of the signal, but with the drive side engaged as well, it will boost the gain of the overdrive.

Power requirements

This pedal takes a standard 9 volt DC power supply with a 2.1mm negative center barrel (boss standard). We always recommend pedal-specific, transformer-isolated wall-wart power supplies or multiple isolated-output supplies. Pedals will make extra noise if there is ripple or unclean power. Switching-type power supplies, daisy chains and non-pedal specific power supplies do not filter dirty power as well and let through unwanted noise.

Current draw: 40mA

True bypass, handpainted, hand-wired, handcrafted by STelectroniX for Vintage Guitar Nerds.

Made in Greece.

    I love my Boostache! It’s the perfect overdrive for my Les Paul and Strat. I’m using the Boostache with a Fender Deluxe Reverb and it sounds awesome.

  2. Andy Heissen

    What a great pedal! It’s definitely the best overdrive pedal I’ve ever played. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a solid option

    I do believe I was the first person to purchase one of these pedals. It’s been about 2 or 3 years and it still doesn’t leave my board. It’s literally the perfect drive. The boost is a fix all for any type of rig or amp I’m playing. I can consistently get a great sound out of this pedal no matter what. Thank you for my forever drive!
