Precautions
Introduction
Your sound will be ring on all cylinders when you place the Rocktron Mega
Booster between your guitar and your amp to turn it into a sonic ballistic
missle!
The Rocktron Mega Booster not only provides up to 20dBu of gain, it can
also enhance the tonal response of your guitar with your amplier.
The Mega Booster utilizes a singular Field Effect Transistor input that reacts
with your guitar pickups and individual playing nuances similar to the way a
tube does, thus enhancing your pickup articulation and harmonic content.
As an added bonus the gain stage is buffered, assuring that your tone is
maintained throughout your signal chain.
Part of the Rocktron Boutique Series of stomp boxes this pedal design comes
in a rugged metal chassis with eye popping retro custom design laser etched
artwork. This is a TRUE BYPASS pedal: when you turn it off…it is out of
your signal path!
To give your tone a blast of dynamic thrust, simply turn the MEGA BOOST
knob to nd the setting that suits your signature sound. Experimenting with
different guitars and amps will lead you to tone heaven. For an additional
edge in chordal work or for enhanced articulation, we suggest using lower
settings of the MEGA BOOST control. For your solos or special effects that
you really want to “jump out” of the mix, try higher settings of the MEGA
BOOST control.
The MEGA BOOSTER pedal usually sounds better when placed before all
other stomp boxes in your signal chain. While it provides up to 20dB of
boost, different ampliers with different settings may sound better while
implementing the MEGA BOOSTER.
The footswitch on the Mega Booster controls On/Off status (indicated by the
LED). This stomp box runs on a 9V Alkaline battery. You may also use the
Rocktron DC OnTap Universal Power Adaptor.
