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.
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.
