The ZVEX Super Hard On is a bone-head simple boost pedal that'll seriously raise your tone! With an ultra-transparent sound, the Super Hard On adds some delightful high-end sparkle too – ensuring that you squeeze the absolute most out of your guitar's pickups.

Vintage-Inspired Design

In ZVEX's own words, the Super Hard On is "the perfect preamp". Its single 'Crackle Okay' volume knob is a negative-feedback control styled after classic '60s recording console inputs, giving you a pure boost sound that is so transparent – no one will be able to tell you’re even using a stompbox!

Ultimate "Always On" Pedal

Great for getting the best out of a classic amp and guitar setup, the ZVEX Super Hard On simply makes your guitar sound bigger and pushes your amp harder – causing natural overload.

This effect can be the solution to the "disappearing guitar" issue that may sometimes afflict you on stage, when you stomp on your distortion pedal and sound weaker. When cranked, the ZVEX Super Hard On sounds much louder than a fuzz or distortion under stage conditions and can be used to push them above anything else in a full band mix!

Boost Pedals

A boost raises signal level without deliberately creating a new effect waveform. Clean boosts emphasise level and headroom, while coloured boosts reshape bass, midrange or treble and may add mild clipping at higher settings. Placed before a gain stage, the extra level changes how that stage distorts; placed later, it can provide a volume lift if sufficient headroom remains.
