Details

While most 'clean boost' pedals have no method for preventing unwanted distortion, the TightBoost pedal uses the same distortion methods as the TightDrive, so when driven hard it has a nice sounding, warm and tube-like breakup. Another requested feature was to make a pedal that provides the tone of a parked wah pedal. Since many people use a wah pedal for boosting their amps, it seemed like a logical addition to this new booster. This is implemented by using the Mid EQ control, which gradually becomes a higher Q/more peaky mid boost and gradually blends in this wah sound.......but without removing the high end you typically hear in a regular wah pedal. By using the High and Tight controls, you can further dial in the pedal's ability to get different amounts of wah. After showing the pedal to Nashville area musicians, we were able to settle on some Wah frequencies which will be available via a newly added switch.All other features from the TightDrive remain intact, such as the Effects Loop with its Pre/Post switch, the LEDs illumination of the controls, and the Battery On/Off switch.
