Origin Effects DCX Boost Studio Preamp Pedal in stock

Boost

Need more punch for solos? Want to hit your amp’s sweet spot? A boost pedal is your secret weapon. Designed to increase your signal without colouring your tone (unless you want it to), boost pedals can lift your sound for leads, tighten your gain stage, or add sparkle and presence. From clean, transparent lifts to gritty boosts that edge into overdrive territory, these pedals give you control and dynamic range right under your foot. Whether it’s for pushing tubes or cutting through the mix, a boost is small, but mighty.

effects

Effects refer to electronic devices or pedals that modify the sound of your guitar, adding colour, texture, and atmosphere to your playing. Common effects include distortion, delay, reverb, chorus, wah, and modulation, each shaping your tone in unique ways. Effects pedals are popular tools for creative expression, allowing musicians to craft signature sounds, from subtle enhancements to dramatic sonic transformations. This category includes a wide range of stompboxes and multi-effects units suitable for all styles and skill levels.

pedal

A pedal is a compact device that guitarists use to alter their instrument’s sound by shaping effects such as distortion, delay, reverb, and modulation. Typically housed in a rugged enclosure and controlled by footswitches, pedals are designed to be placed on the floor for hands-free operation during playing. They can be analogue or digital, true bypass or buffered, and come in countless varieties to suit different styles and preferences. Pedals are essential tools for creating signature tones and adding colour and texture to a guitarist’s sound.

Preamp

A preamp (preamplifier) is the first stage in your guitar signal chain that takes the weak signal from your guitar and boosts it to a usable level for shaping tone and driving the power amp.

It’s where much of your tone is formed—controlling gain, EQ, and character. In valve (tube) amps, the preamp stage is what gives you that classic warmth and breakup when pushed. In modern rigs, standalone preamp pedals or rack units can mimic classic amp tones or create entirely new ones. Whether in a studio or live setup, a good preamp is the heart of your sound.
