Megaphone
’If I was putting together a board and I wanted a great, always-on tone, this would be something I would put there.’ ~ Boring Gear Reviews
Megaphone is a transparent, high-impedance booster that will drive any tube preamp into distorted bliss.
Thanks to the MOSFET transistor, Megaphone feels and sounds just like a tube booster. It provides extra headroom and clarity to your tone without adding distortion. With enough output to saturate any amp, the pedal is compatible with both Single Coil and Humbucker pickups. Just like almost everything we do, it’s equally impressive when used on bass as well.
While boosting does not colour the sound, Megaphone’s three-band EQ takes good care of that by allowing you to add the right amount of punch to make your guitar sound great, no matter if you're playing 1970s rock or high-gain metal.
At first glance, Megaphone is a simple boost pedal, which it can be, but plug it directly into the Return input of an amp, and you can use it as a preamp.
The effect controls are extremely straightforward, with the Level knob capable of boosting the signal by approximately 20 dB.
