Description

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.

Fuzz Pedals

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.

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.

Fuzz

Fuzz is one of the earliest and most distinctive guitar effects, known for its thick, gritty, and saturated tone that completely transforms your sound. It works by heavily clipping the audio signal, producing a raw, almost broken distortion that defined the sound of the ’60s and ’70s rock era. Classic pedals like the Fuzz Face and Big Muff became legendary for their roaring sustain and rich harmonic texture. Modern fuzz pedals range from vintage-style warmth to wild, synth-like chaos, making them perfect for players who want to add character, attitude, and a touch of chaos to their tone.
