Frequently Asked Questions

This version uses a new gain-selected OC44 transistor, aiming for improved consistency and tone compared to some older, more budget-focused clones.
It works well with both, but the treble boost really shines with humbuckers, adding clarity and definition to a thicker sound.
British Pedal Company has a good reputation for quality, and the true bypass here is genuinely transparent – you won't hear any signal coloration when it's disengaged.
