Freq Boost
The BBE Freq Boost is a true classic – a modern recreation of a rare and revered treble booster from the 1960s that helped shape the sound of some of the greatest guitarists in rock history. This pedal is all about adding that magical, singing sustain and harmonically-rich overdrive to your tone. At its heart, the Freq Boost uses a carefully tuned circuit to dramatically boost the high-end frequencies of your guitar signal, pushing your amp into wonderfully smooth, creamy distortion. But unlike some one-trick treble boosters, the Freq Boost has a surprising amount of tonal flexibility. Dial in just a touch of boost for a subtle sparkle, or crank it up for scorching, singing lead tones that cut through the mix with authority. The pedal's robust construction ensures it can withstand the rigors of the stage, with a rugged metal chassis, hardwire bypass, and easy battery access. And the included power supply means you can leave the 9V battery at home. Legendary players like Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton famously used vintage versions of this circuit to achieve their signature overdriven tones – and with the BBE Freq Boost, you can unlock that same magic in your rig. Whether you're looking to add sustain, fatten up your sound, or achieve that classic '60s lead tone, the Freq Boost is a must-have for any serious guitarist's collection.
