Clean Boost
Ultra-transparent Class A boost pedal with minimal coloration, delivering rich harmonics, extended low end, and enormous dynamics while preserving natural guitar tone.
The Shins Music Clean Boost is lower-gain version of brand's Clean Drive pedal, designed to provide impeccably clean, transparent boost with signature Dumble-influenced voicing that Shin Suzuki is renowned for. Rather than being completely transparent buffer-style boost, this pedal adds great harmonic content that enhances your base tone, bringing harmonics galore, enormous dynamics, and fuller notes all with superb transparency. Circuit is based on versatile overdrive design but without various gain stages, instead highlighting clarity and dynamics.
Pedal features three straightforward controls: Gain, Tone, and Volume, allowing players to dial in perfect amount of boost and tonal shaping. Tone control provides subtle voicing adjustments while maintaining pedal's transparent character. What sets Clean Boost apart from standard transparent boosters is its ability to add very rich and extended low end, which has become typical signature of Shins Music brand. This makes it particularly effective for fattening single-coil pickups or adding body to otherwise thin-sounding setups.
Despite being labeled as boost pedal, Clean Boost operates as low transparent gain, Class A style boost that can push amplifiers into natural overdrive or simply add volume and presence for solos. Circuit design, like all Shins Music pedals, is kept secret with components gooped to prevent reverse engineering. Every component is hand-selected for tolerance and specifically chosen for its sonic merits. Incredibly fast response and touch-sensitivity make this ideal always-on pedal that enhances your tone without fundamentally altering it. At only 5mA current draw, it's one of most efficient pedals on market.
