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.

Clapton

Eric Clapton, one of the most influential guitarists in rock and blues history, is known for his refined tone and expressive playing style. His choice of gear reflects his pursuit of sonic perfection. Among his signature instruments is the Gibson Custom Shop Eric Clapton 1958 Les Paul Custom, a high-end recreation of his legendary “Beano” era guitar.

Clapton is also closely associated with Fender, particularly his Signature Stratocaster in Black and the Todd Krause Master built Custom Shop model, tailored to his exacting standards. For acoustic work, he favours the Martin 000-28EC, available in both Sunburst and Natural finishes—guitars that deliver the warmth and clarity his unplugged performances are known for.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibrations into an electrical signal, which is then amplified. Unlike acoustic guitars, they rely on amplification for volume and tone shaping, making them highly versatile in genres like rock, blues, jazz, and metal. Electric guitars come in many body styles—solid, semi-hollow, and hollow—and feature different pickup configurations, neck types, and hardware. From smooth clean tones to aggressive distortion, they offer a wide sonic range, making them the backbone of modern guitar music.
