Dusky Electronics unveils Mandorla boost pedal
MOSFET circuit inspired by ’60s treble boosters
North Carolina’s Dusky Electronics has announced the Mandorla boost pedal.
Based around MOSFET transistors and inspired by ’60s treble boosters, the analogue boost has “enough gain to push a clean tube amp into overdrive” and is designed for use on guitar, bass and keyboard.
The pedal operates on 9-18V power supplies, and features controls for volume (more) and bass frequencies (meat).
The Mandorla is available from 26 February for $160 – head over to Dusky Electronics for more info.
