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.
