Product Description
Rocktron
Push your sound right over the top with Rocktron's Nitro Booster/Enhancer stomp box! Most guitar players are happy with their sound, but like a race car driver, they are always seeking that extra EDGE that pushes it over the top. The Nitro Tonal Booster now gives you that edge. The Nitro enhances a player's articulation by soft compression means and offers over 22dB of gain for intense boosting.
Product Overview and Specifications
Nitro Booster/Enhancer


Got an anemic sounding amp? With the Nitro, you'll turn decent amp distortion into great amp distortion. The Nitro makes harmonic squeals easier to achieve and even broadens the capabilities of your pickups. This is one of the simplest tools you will ever find. A single control is provided for BOOST and a single switch kicks you into that hot zone.


The Boost control provides the level of enhancement and boost. Turning it clockwise increases the amount of "boost". Turning it counterclockwise decreases the amount of boost. The Nitro works with a 9 Volt battery or with an optional 9VDC external power adaptor. The easy access battery compartment will make changing batteries during a gig a breeze. We also have equipped it with a super bright LED so you will know when the pedal is ON.


The Nitro Booster pedal usually sounds better when placed before all other stomp boxes in your signal chain. While it provides up to 22dB of boost, different amplifiers with different settings may sound better. For additional edge in chordal work or for enhanced articulation, we suggest using lower settings of the boost control. For your solos or special effects that you really want to "jump out" of the mix, try higher settings of the boost control.

I really like punching into this. If you are looking for a good clean compression boost that will make your sound a little more Marshall like, this is it. There is plenty of room for more boost with the parameters. I only use it on about 1/3 and that is enough.

While I'm still experimenting, I can say this is well worth the price! I haven't tried that Seymour Duncan booster pedal, but they had tons of issues with those crapping out and costs more. Seymour can build pickups, but lets say they should stick to that. This comes in a sturdy metal enclosure. Works well with active EMG pickups and passive. It compresses somewhat depending on your pickup outputs and where in the chain you put. If you put it up too high there can be some noise. I never needed it the whole way up. It actually does a good job of boosting and making your amp sound even better(on tube amps at least). It also can drive your pedal chain. I didn't try it in my amps effects loop yet which is the best place if you like your amps distortion pedal. It's also great for driving other effects. Can this stand up to some of the boutique 30db+ boosters? Depends. If you're on a budget, then you'll be really happy with this.
