Whether you use this TC Electronic pedal as an always-on signal booster to make your tubes work harder, as an occasional boost for highlighting a solo, lick or passage or as a distortion pedal to go with a clean amp, it will always stay true to your tone with absolutely no coloration or degradation of the original signal.

The built-in noise gate holds feedback in a firm leg lock only letting through the boosted, yet uncolored, roaring signal from your strokes.

Controls

Noise Gate: Threshold setting for the built-in Noise Gate. Using a gate
is always a compromise between eliminating the noise when you are
not playing yet still being able to play phrases with a low dynamic
content. Experiment to find the best setting for your setup.

Boost/Distortion: Selects boost or distortion function. Use boost for a
clean boost that will raise the level on clean/crunch sounds and use the
distortion to experience the classic distortion that gives you a fat easy
to control distortion sound.

Distortion: Sets the amount of distortion when the pedal is used in
distortion mode.

Bass: Add a bit of bass for extra punch or attenuate if you feel you are
about to blow your speakers.

Treble: Adding boost or distortion to a sound always changes the
perceived amount of treble. Use the Treble control to adjust the amount
of high-end frequencies in the sound.

Output Level - Sets the overall output level for both the distortion and
boost modes.
