Phil Jones Bass PE-2 Booster Rooster EQ/Boost Pedal

PJB PE-2 BOOSTEROOSTER

A precision 2-band EQ, preamp, and clean booster for bass

Phil Jones Bass announces the BOOSTEROOSTER (Model PE-2 — Precision Equalizer, 2 Band), a compact preamp and EQ pedal engineered specifically for electric and upright bass. Designed to restore tonal control in any environment, the BOOSTEROOSTER delivers consistent, authoritative bass tone when connecting to PAs, recording interfaces, or unfamiliar backline — where bass tone is most often compromised.

More than an EQ, the BOOSTEROOSTER provides up to +18dB of clean gain — driving amplifiers into their optimal operating range, compensating for passive or low-output instruments, and maintaining signal strength through long cable runs or complex pedalboards. No distortion, no compression, no coloration.

Precision Equalization

Bass Control (±12dB @ 60Hz) — targets true fundamentals, adding weight and authority without boom or speaker overload.

Treble Control (±12dB @ 6kHz) — adds clarity and articulation without harshness.

Optimized for Magnetic and Piezo Pickups

An MG/PZ switch selects 2MΩ for magnetic pickups or 4.7MΩ for piezo. Piezo pickups loaded incorrectly lose low-frequency content before the signal reaches the amplifier. The 4.7MΩ input extends effective bandwidth to approximately 30Hz — well below the 41Hz low E — restoring the full character of the instrument.
