Here’s what TC Electronic say about the Spark Booster:
Spark Booster is a special type of pedal. It’s a pedal that will ignite your playing and kickstart your inspiration. And no matter how you decide to use it, it’s a guaranteed ear-to-ear grin as soon as the first notes hit you. What starts as a “just-wanna-try-this-pedal-out”-session turns out to be a 3-hour marathon of new riffs, licks and ideas, without you even noticing any time has passed – because you were too busy having fun and sounding great. That type of pedal.
Not Just A Boost, Why Not Leave On?
Spark Booster works wonders as an always on-type of effect – adding life, grit and compression to your sound in a way that just oozes tone and musicality. Add body, punch and warmth to pickups, drive amps to peak performance and enhance the sonic possibilities of existing sounds. Spark Booster also shines when used as a pure-level boost. It’s the perfect tool to prime solos, highlight parts and add another musical dimension to your amp or Overdrive/Distortion pedal – to really drive that killer solo, lick or riff home.
Control with EQ
Spark Booster’s feature set is all about you – maximizing what you already have and realizing your potential. The level knob allows you to add 26 dB of boost – it raises your volume without altering the character of your tone in any way. Spark Booster’s Gain knob is perfect for adding a hint of breakup or slight compression to a clean amp.
The active EQ controls consist of Bass and Treble knobs – which allow you to cut and boost these frequencies. They form the perfect tone shaping tool and because they are active EQs, Spark Booster can amplify frequency areas as well, and be used to create deep, extended lows or to add beautiful top-end sparkle. Also, Spark Booster is True-bypass, guaranteeing optimal tonal integrity.
Toggle Switch
Rounding out the feature set of Spark Booster is a little toggle switch that allows for three settings. The ‘Clean’ setting means the pedal boosts your signal equally across the frequency spectrum. The ‘Fat’ setting fattens up sounds and adds life and punch to your sound, and allows for precise tonal shaping with the EQ and Gain knobs. The Mid-boost section provides a bump in the mids that is both musical and pronounced. It cuts through any mix with heaps of unprecedented clarity and allows you to be heard like never before.
