Extra Credit Boost
Dual-mode boost: toggle between op-amp and transistor circuits. Brightness knob active in transistor mode.
The Extra Credit Boost is a versatile dual-circuit boost pedal combining two distinct boost topologies in single compact enclosure. Hand-built in Syracuse, NY by working musicians, features simple yet effective control scheme with Volume knob, Brightness knob (active only in transistor mode), and toggle switch to select between two circuits. Left position engages one-knob op-amp boost circuit reminiscent of classic DOD 250 style circuitry, delivering warm, rich gain and lighter drive tones with enhanced clarity and presence.
When toggle switched to right position, Extra Credit transforms into transistor-based boost with adjustable Brightness control. This mode offers punchier, more mid and high-end focused boost ideal for cutting through dense band mixes. Transistor circuit provides upper mid and treble emphasis, perfect for solo work requiring extra sparkle and definition. Brightness knob allows precise fine-tuning of high-frequency content to match your guitar and amp combination.
Features top-mounted jacks and DC input for efficient pedalboard integration, runs on standard 9-volt negative center power supplies. True bypass switching preserves signal integrity and all-analog circuitry ensures warm, organic tones. Excels at pushing tube amps into natural overdrive or providing clean volume boosts for solos. Dual-circuit design eliminates need for two separate boost pedals. Backed by lifetime warranty, priced at $149.99.
