About this pedal
Developed with guitarist Allen Hinds, the AH Booster resurrects his favorite discontinued pedal, the AC-Comp, with modern updates. It’s tuned for a ‘tight yet smooth’ overdriven character, with an adjustable +/-15dB two-band active EQ and 18V operation available for extra headroom. True bypass switching keeps your tone unaffected when off.
