Der Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster wurde 2002 veröffentlicht und kommt noch heute auf den Pedalboards von legendären Musikern wie George Lynch, Peter Frampton und Alex Skolnick zum Einsatz. Grundlage des Pedals ist ein Class A Low-Noise Schaltungs-Design, das es Musikern mit wenig Aufwand ermöglicht ihren Gitarren-Sound an die jeweiligen Anforderungen anzupassen. Das Pedal betont den ursprünglichen Charakter der Gitarre und fügt dezent etwas Druck und Kraft hinzu. Selbst mit einem Minimum an Gain klingt der Sound klarer und durch den integrierten Buffer wird einem Soundverlust bei langen Kabelwegen effektiv entgegengewirkt. Wie die erste Version bietet der Blackened Pickup Booster einen sauberen Boost ohne den Sound ungewollt zu verfälschen, bietet aber bei Bedarf auch die Möglichkeit das Voicing von Single Coil Pickups in Richtung Humbucker zu verschieben.

Originally released in 2002 and residing on the pedalboards of iconic musicians like George Lynch, Peter Frampton, and Alex Skolnick, the Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster is a true-bypass pedal with a class A, low-noise circuit design, and can be used to dial in the tone you need for every situation. It will emphasize your guitar’s natural tone while adding some muscle and fatness. It uses a discrete push-pull output stage for increased drive capability so, even with the Gain knob down to 0 dB, your signal chain will sound cleaner – even with long cable runs – essentially acting as a buffer on your pedalboard. Like the original, this pedal is designed to boost your signal without altering the character of your guitar, while also hiding a few tone-shaping tricks up its sleeve. The updated version comes with a nice matte black chassis. The Pickup Booster is for when you love the sound of your guitar, but you need a little more: more output, more gain or just a little more control over your guitar’s voice without changing its fundamental character. Think of it as sending your guitar to the gym.

Diamondhead is a Multistage Distortion + Boost pedal that captures the tone and feel of a hot-rodded tube amp being pushed by a drive or boost pedal – the guitar sound that defined classic 70s and 80s Metal and Hard Rock.

Diamondhead

Das Seymour Duncan 805 Effektpedal ist ein klassischer Overdrive, der dir einen subtilen Boost, fetten Crunch oder sägende Solo-Sounds bietet. Mit dem aktiven 3-Band EQ lässt sich der Sound perfekt an die eigenen Vorstellungen anpassen. Egal ob du deinem Sound nur etwas Boost und Farbe geben möchtest oder nach einem harmonischen Verzerrer mit einem warmen, Röhren-ähnlichen Charakter im oberen Gain-Bereich suchst, der 805 Overdrive bietet genau die Vielseitigkeit, die man für jede Art von Musik braucht - egal ob Blues, Country, Rock, Metal - oder alles dazwischen. Der 805 OD eignet sich ideal um das Front End eines angezerrten Verstärkers zu pushen und den Amp in die Sättigung zu fahren. Mid Scoop, Solo Boost oder dominanter Crunch? Alles kein Problem! Natürlich arbeitet das Pedal mit einem True Bypass und harmoniert so selbst mit den größten Effekt-Setups.

The Seymour Duncan 805 is a classic overdrive that gives a subtle boost, fat crunch, or a searing tone to your solos. The 3-band active EQ shapes your tone just the way you want. Whether you're looking to give your sound a bit of a boost or trying to find harmonically rich heavy gain with warm tube character, the 805 overdrive provides the versatility needed for any type of music - blues, country, rock, metal, and everything in between. The 3-band active EQ, delivers unprecedented control - you can have a smooth, lyrical bluesy tone one minute, and crushing modern metal crunch the next. The 805 is designed to be the perfect overdrive for pushing the front end of an already distorted amp, giving you plenty of output and tone-shaping capability, but can also give your clean tone a controlled boost. Scoop your mids or tighten your hard rock/metal tone in front of a high gain amplifier. Give that solo a searing boost that cuts perfectly through the mix and give your low end rhythm parts controlled crunch. The 805 is capable of any of these and more. Being a true-bypass pedal, it will feel at home on whatever pedalboard you choose.
