sobbat BS-1S Booster Drive Breaker – Made in Japan

Condition
This effects pedal is in Excellent condition. There are very few signs of prior use. This unit has been thoroughly cleaned and tested with a compatible power supply and 9v battery. All functions are operational. The original packaging and instructions are included. 

Professor’s Notes
A compact push with real purpose, the BS-1S adds lift, bite, and harmonic urgency without turning the whole rig into a different thing. Use it to wake up a clean amp, tighten a drive pedal, or step forward for leads with that unmistakably focused sobbat handmade feel.

Rig Role / What This Solves

  • Adds clean-to-gritty signal push without excess clutter
  • Helps single coils feel more assertive and humbuckers cut forward
  • Works as an always-on enhancer, lead boost, or gain-stage pusher
  • Compact format makes it easy to add authority without rebuilding the board

Description
The sobbat BS-1S Booster Drive Breaker is a compact booster designed to add presence, output, and drive-stage push in a simple, musical format. It works well in front of a clean amp for added bite and feel, or before another overdrive to increase saturation, sustain, and focus.

Like other sobbat pedals, the BS-1S has a direct, purposeful feel rather than an overly polished or generic voice. It is a useful choice for players who want a booster that can do more than simply make the signal louder.
