The Black Hawk Booster is a discrete MosFETeffect pedal that delivers a maximum of 30dB of ultra-clean gain with a minimum tone coloration. One of the best features of the Black Hawk Booster is its high input impedance: with almost 5MΩ, you can use it at any place in your pedalboard, specially in front of any device you want to avoid to load. The Black Hawk Booster doesn’t produce any distortion on its own, but is great to place in front of an amp and push it naturally into distortion.
This pedal only has one external knob: with the Boost potentiometer you can set the amount of gain of the pedal. And in case you need to lower your volume, just turn it towards the minimum and the Black Hawk Booster will act an as attenuator! The internal trimmer can be set to adjust the overall gain volume of the circuit, and once the sweet spot has been found it’s better to let it fixed.
