The Hermit illuminates the path to tonal perfection.
The Saturnworks black booster features a volume boost, a tone control, and a midrange cut knob. The tone control is useful when paired with pedals that lack their own tone control, or if you want to add that midrange scoop for a Muff-esque or metal sound. The black booster also has a 25db clean boost on tap to juice your amp, overdrive other pedals, or to keep your signal going strong over long cable runs.
Starting in May 2022, the black hermit booster/tone control is now featuring our soft click latching switch. Our soft click latching switch is the highest quality and quietest mechanical latching switch money can buy. Made in small batches in Japan, the soft click switch is not only surprisingly smooth and quiet, it is rated for an astounding 200k actuations (standard switches are rated to around 10k).
The black booster is based on the popular BMP tone circuit. The BMP is a well known drop-in tone control for lots of boutique pedals. The problem with the regular BMP tone stack is that it has a significant volume drop. The Saturnworks black booster remedies the volume drop and gives you more headroom so that you can set it at unity gain or up your levels. Our version also includes a 'presence' control knob that gives you either a flatter EQ or the characteristic BMP mid-scoop.
You can use the tone/volume pedal as a standalone pedal in your regular signal path, or you can use it as a tone/volume controller for another device by putting both in the loop of a true bypass looper.
The black booster features a unique Hermit graphic, whose lantern lights up when the effect is on.
