Whether you’re a clean or dirty boost person, Catalinbread got you covered. Come experience the best of both worlds with some extra emphasis right where you need it. One of their most-requested legacy reissues has arrived! The VariOboost is one of their oldest pedals, with a lineage that nearly reaches the beginning of our timeline. The original delivered 12 decibels of boost or cut at a user-selectable frequency from 70Hz to 1.4KHz, with some additional gain piled on top for a truly stellar boosting experience. This device was loved by players of all stripes, from jazz players looking to tame highs in a surgical way to death metal guys looking to annihilate the midrange without sacrificing volume. They've captured the spirit of the original, with an additional control they call Pre. This new control introduces a clipping circuit before the frequency boost with plenty of gain of its own. Together with the Post knob, you can dial in everything from ultra-clean boost by cranking Post and rolling back Pre, to a very convincing overdrive by turning the knobs the opposite way. You can also give a stubborn amp a shove into the red by running both knobs at whichever level you like. Whether you’re a clean or dirty boost person, they’ve got you covered. Come experience the best of both worlds with some extra emphasis right where you need it.

Features

  • Ultra-versatile boost pedal, capable of taking on both clean and dirty boost duties with surgical EQ sculpting
  • Set your frequency from 70Hz to 1.4kHz using the Freq knob, then boost/cut it by 12dB using the Level control
  • Pre knob injects your signal with a pre-EQ soft-clipping circuit that imparts additional gain and character; can also be used to slam the post-EQ op-amp for hard-hitting breakup
  • Powerful Post (volume) control puts plenty of clean gain on top when the Pre knob is minimized
