THIS PEDAL WILL TRANSFORM YOUR GUITAR RIG

Don't let the Vertex Boost MKII's name fool you — it's much more thana mere boost. Make no mistake, this multifunction guitar pedal can functionas a gain booster, with +16dB of ultra-transparent gain that can eitherdrive your amp into saturation or give your solos a squeaky-clean levelbump, depending on where you choose to deploy it. Able to accommodateboth line- and instrument-level signals, the Boost MKII also includesultra-linear input/output buffers that are guaranteed to elevate thesound of your entire rig. This stompbox's buffers can propel a typicalmid-level rig into pro-level territory with zero tonal coloration. Andif your rig is already 99% of the way there, the Boost MKII will deliverthat elusive missing 1%. Beyond that, the Boost MKII's insert jackenables you to adjust your volume via an external treadle-style pedalwhile keeping your guitar's signal completely isolated — it's likeplugging straight into your amp. Boasting a compact enclosure that's 33%slimmer than its predecessor, the Vertex Boost MKII belongs on everytone-obsessed guitarist's pedalboard.

OFFERS MORE THAN +16DB OF EXTRA GAIN WITH ZERO SONIC COLORATION

While the Boost MKII offers a myriad of useful functions, it's aclean booster pedal at heart. Its straightforward Level knob ranges fromunity gain to a healthy +16dB.  Placing the Boost MKII in front of youramp or dirt boxes adds saturation and sustain to your signal, whileplacing it after your preamp and dirt boxes gives you a full-range levelincrease. Best off all, the Boost MKII doesn't change the tone ofanything that comes before it — it's sonically invisible.

INPUT AND OUTPUT BUFFERS OPTIMIZE YOUR SIGNAL PATH FOR MAXIMUM TONE

Guitarists are always searching for new ways to elevate the sound oftheir rig. Thanks to its top-shelf input and output buffers, the VertexBoost MKII will do just that. How can a set of buffers transform anoisy, novice-sounding rig into a quiet, pro-level one? For starters,these buffers condition your rig's entire analog signal path, ensuringoptimal input and stable output. They also exhibit an unprecedentedlevel of linearity, while ensuring zero coloration of your signal — evenwith dozens of stompboxes in your chain. The Boost MKII's input buffercompensates for pickups with different impedances, ensuring that bothsingle-coil- and humbucker-equipped guitars retain every ounce of theirtone, while its output buffer tackles arena-sized cable runs like achamp. Got a hissy, interference-prone passive effects loop? Not anymore— the Boost MKII will convert it into a max-quality, whisper-quietactive loop.

CONTROL YOUR VOLUME WITH AN EXTERNAL VOLUME OR EXP PEDAL

On the rear of the Boost MKII, you'll find a 1/8-inch TRS insert.This enables you to control your volume using an external treadle-stylepedal. When the Boost MKII is bypassed, your external pedal will behaveas a typical volume pedal, sweeping from zero to unity gain. Turn theBoost MKII on, and the treadle-style pedal will sweep from zero towherever the stompbox's Level knob is set. You connect the treadle-stylepedal to the Boost MKII via a 1/8-inch TRS to 1/4-inch TRS (stereo)cable or a 1/8-inch TRS to dual 1/4-inch TS ("Y" insert) cable (soldseparately). Best of all, your guitar's signal is completely isolatedfrom the treadle-style pedal, ensuring zero impact on your tone.
