The Origin Guitar Pedals always come out on top. This is New is in stock and ready to post out to you, with fast, reliable delivery straight to your door. For more New Guitar Pedals options, read on for full specifications, demos, and secure online ordering.

Introducing the DCX Boost, a tone shaper & drive pedal inspired by the iconic UA 610 recording preamp. With two versions of the pedal catering individually to guitar and bass players, these new offerings add vintage, analogue colour to a signal, as well as precise control of level and EQ. From subtle boosts and tone tweaking to fuzz-like “cranked console” saturation, these pedals enhance anything that passes through the circuit, just like you’d expect from a great retro recording preamp.

Great care has been taken to ensure a fully flat frequency response when desired, with EQ controls specially designed for guitar and bass, allowing generous boosting of bass and treble without sacrificing low-end clarity or overemphasising upper harmonics. EQ and OD modes select between cleaner and dirtier sounds, while the Voice switch features our Adaptive Circuitry, previously seen on the Halcyon Green Overdrive and M-EQ Driver.

This switch gives extra control over the high-end and adapts the voicing of the pedal in response to playing dynamics and volume knob changes. With all-analogue, studio-derived circuitry and a sophisticated balance of precision and character, these pedals can craft the perfect clean boost, mimic classic “direct to console” tones or serve up saturated vintage overdrive.

Now in a Black edition, you can add an extra layer of style to your pedalboard with its sophisticated design.

Stuff About Guitar Pedals

Guitar pedals are compact effects units that shape and enhance a guitar’s sound, sitting between the instrument and the amplifier. They include gain pedals like overdrive and distortion, modulation effects such as chorus and tremolo, time-based effects like delay and reverb, and essential utilities including tuners, compressors and loopers. Understanding basic things such as pedal type, signal order, power requirements and intended use helps players choose pedals that suit their style, setup and playing environment.

The Important stuff

Black — Black instruments and gear offer a timeless, understated look that fits almost any style of music or setup. Whether it’s a guitar, pedal or accessory, a black finish is often chosen for its clean appearance, practicality and stage-ready feel. If you prefer gear that looks focused, professional and never goes out of fashion, black options deliver a classic aesthetic with no distractions.. Boost

Boost pedals give your signal that extra push — perfect for cutting through the mix or driving your amp into sweet natural overdrive. Whether you want a clean volume lift for solos or a touch of grit to wake up your tone, a good boost adds clarity, punch, and presence without changing your core sound. Simple, powerful, and essential on any board, a boost pedal can turn a good tone into a great one with just one stomp.

. Edition. Effects — Effects are guitar pedals and processors used to shape, enhance, or transform your sound. They can add anything from subtle warmth and dynamics control to heavy distortion, modulation, ambience, and time-based textures, allowing players to tailor their tone to different styles and musical situations. Used individually or combined into a signal chain, effects give players creative control over how their guitar responds and sits in a mix. From simple, single-function pedals to advanced multi-effects units, effects are an essential part of modern guitar setups for both live performance and recording.. Pedal — Pedals are the tools that let you shape, colour and transform your sound, from subtle tone enhancement to bold, creative effects. Whether you are adding grit, space, movement or control, a pedal becomes part of your playing rather than just an add-on. Exploring different pedals is about discovering what responds to your touch and helps your sound feel more like your own.. preamp — A preamp is a stage in the signal chain that boosts the guitar’s signal and shapes its core tone before it reaches the power amp or recording interface. Preamp pedals and units can add gain, EQ, and character, helping define clarity, warmth, and drive while forming the foundation of a player’s overall sound.. Studio.
