The MC401 Boost/Line Driver from MXR is a potent volume pusher, taking your guitar's signal up by a significant notch! With up to 20dB of boost on tap, this powerful pedal raises the overall output of your rig, serving as the perfect driver for solos.

However, it's not just a one-trick-pony. While it may only boast one control, the MC401 also adds some crisp top-end to your tone as well as more mid-range punch. This offers a sound with far more definition and brilliance, which can help to compensate for the signal loss caused by large and complex rigs.

Place this pedal in your effects loop and you'll achieve a pure, unbridled kick of extra volume. However, this unit can also shine when used in conjunction with overdrive or distortion pedals, and when placed before them you can achieve a more saturated and harmonically-rich tone. Whichever way you decide to route the MC401, you'll always find it useful!

Boost Pedals

Boost pedals increase your signal level, helping solos stand out, pushing an amplifier harder or adding extra presence to your tone. Some boosts are clean and transparent, while others add colour, midrange, grit or brightness depending on the circuit design.

A boost pedal can be used before overdrive to add saturation, after drive pedals for a volume lift, or at the start of the chain to strengthen the guitar signal. It is one of the simplest but most useful pedals for live players and tone-shapers alike.

Boost

Boost pedals and related effects are commonly used by guitarists looking to shape their tone in a more focused and creative way. Different designs offer their own response, feel and tonal character depending on the style of music and the type of amplifier or guitar being used.

Many players build pedalboards gradually over time, combining different effects and utilities to create a setup that suits their own sound and workflow. Boost related gear can play an important role in both live performance and studio recording.
