Darkglass Electronics are renowned for their high-gain distortion and fuzz stompboxes. However, before dabbling with the innovative Microtubes technology that is used in many of their current products, Darkglass launched the Harmonic Booster – their first ever pedal design. Heavily sought after, the Harmonic Booster is finally back and better than ever before!

Just like the original, the Darkglass Harmonic Booster 2.0 is primarily a clean preamp that offers plenty of tone-shaping potential with its 'Bass' and 'Treble' controls, and most notably – a sweepable parametric mid-range. Letting you find the sweet-spot, this flexible active EQ section as a whole offers mixing desk-level precision, especially in conjunction with the 'Character' control that allows you to determine how much of the EQ circuitry affects your core sound.

The 'Boost' knob delivers up to 20 dB cut/boost, but apart from simply affecting volume, the boost function also introduces extra harmonics to create a richer sound; akin to an exciter. The Darkglass Electronics Harmonic Booster 2.0 can therefore serve as an "always on" pedal that'll guarantee excellent tone no matter what you plug it into!

Here's what Darkglass Electronics says about the Harmonic Booster 2.0:

The original Harmonic Booster was Darkglass Electronics’ first ever pedal design. Now with the Harmonic Booster 2.0 the mythical product that started it all is back, but with major improvements over the original.

In the quest to design the perfect bass distortion, you first have to master the control of harmonics and filtering, which are crucial to sculpting the character and texture of a distortion circuit at will. It was when testing the first few gain and filter stages of what would later become the core of Darkglass’ overdrive technology, that it was realised that the harmonic excitation circuitry could yield amazing results on a clean signal at lower gain levels!

The result was a clean preamplifier that enhances attack and presence, while sculpting the mids for a very percussive and aggressive character and now rare examples of this early design are highly sought after. Darkglass Electronics has picked up a few tricks over the past decade, which translates into several improvements over the original design.

Aside from a new comprehensive EQ section for additional flexibility, noise performance and headroom are all vastly improved in V2.0. The unique tone-shaping engine can be controlled with the Character knob, which at minimum leaves your signal completely flat, providing absolute control from subtle to extreme enhancement. In addition, the new 3-band active equalizer, with bass and treble knobs, also features a semi-parametric mid control – a first for Darkglass!

Although Harmonic Booster 2.0 is designed to be the perfect complement to the line-up of Darkglass distortion circuits, its incredible flexibility and portability makes it the perfect one-stop solution for gigging musicians in search of a precise, yet harmonically rich clean preamplifier.

Tasty Pedals made by Darkglass

Just Pedal Ingredients.

Boost — A boost pedal is like that extra drizzle of olive oil or pinch of salt that brings the whole dish to life. It doesn’t change the flavour — it enhances it. By increasing your signal level without colouring your tone, a boost adds clarity, punch, and presence to whatever’s already on your plate. Whether you use it to push your amp into natural overdrive, lift a solo above the mix, or add that last bit of sparkle before serving, a good boost pedal is the chef’s secret ingredient. Simple, pure, and essential — it’s the appetiser that makes every course taste better.. Booster — A booster is an effects pedal used by guitarists to increase the overall level or volume of their signal, often to enhance certain aspects of their tone or to push an amplifier into overdrive. By amplifying the guitar’s signal, a booster can make solos stand out more prominently in a mix, or drive an amp harder for a more aggressive sound. Boosters come in various forms, including clean boosters, which simply raise the volume without altering the tone, and overdrive or distortion boosters, which add some level of grit and warmth. Some booster pedals also feature tone controls to adjust the EQ, allowing players to shape the frequency response and fine-tune their sound. They are a versatile tool for achieving greater dynamic range and tonal flexibility in both live performances and studio recordings.. Clean. Guitar Pedals — Your pedal is like a signature dish for your sound — a flavour-packed creation that transforms the bland ingredients of your guitar into something unforgettable. Each one adds its own seasoning, texture, and heat, turning a simple meal into a feast of tone. These tasty little boxes sit in a row, like plates on a buffet, letting you mix and match flavours as you play. With one tap of your foot, you can swap sweet for spicy, subtle for smoky, and serve up something completely new. From the comfort food of warm overdrive to the fiery kick of fuzz, from smooth jazz sauce to heavy-metal spice, pedals give players a full menu of options to express their taste.  And just like with food, once you’ve tried one dish, you’ll want to sample them all. Collecting, trading, and discovering new flavours soon becomes part of the joy of being a tone-loving gourmet geek with a guitar.. Harmonic.

Preamp — A preamp pedal shapes and boosts your guitar’s signal before it reaches your amp or recording interface, giving you control over tone, gain, and headroom. It acts as the first stage of amplification, adding warmth, clarity, and character while preparing your signal for the next part of the chain. Some preamps emulate the response of classic valve circuits, while others offer clean, transparent tone shaping ideal for acoustic instruments or direct recording setups. Used on its own, a preamp pedal can serve as the foundation of your tone, providing a consistent core sound wherever you play. When combined with other effects, it enhances dynamics and helps each pedal sound more defined and natural. Whether you’re looking to push your amp harder, bring life to a dull signal, or refine your sound for the studio, a good preamp pedal adds presence, punch, and musicality to any rig..
