If you turn the bright switch off, the tone become darker, which was a characteristic of the original vintage Echoplex circuit.

A Bad Cat (tone got mushy, and at high boost levels became sizzly and mushy both).

Great for giving that aggressive boost to your solosor just a clean jazzy tone

It does color your tone a bit warmer

If you don't use the EP Booster, then you hate good tone.

but otherwise just has that highly processed cold tone that I don't care for.

Then I heard a guitar player who used the same gear that I had -- Strat, Tele, and Les Paul into a vintage 1960's Blackface Deluxe Reverb -- but his tone had some "magic" that was missing in my rig

It significantly enhances tone in multiple ways -- better note separation in chords, more defined pick attacks and just better overall high end and low end

I haven't tried this yet with overdrives and distortion because I'm still gob-smacked by what it does to my clean tones, so I can't comment yet on what it does to a distorted signal

I don't use the gain setting past 8:00, as I don't want my front end of my amp hit hard, to preserve my clean tone, but it does that well too

Now I never turn this pedal off when playing clean-ish tones

/funky tones on the clean channel of my jcm900, but I get a serious boost when going solo on lead channel too

Its a nice clean boost in that it doesn't alter my tone with the exception of very slight mid

I like it best with my clean tone for jazz or blues style playing.

not just a booster......creates warmth and exquisite tone

eq circuit to enhance their tone.

Love my new tone

I find that with humbucker pickups it adds just the right, very slight tone coloration that both fattens up the sound and gives it just the right sparkle

I don't use it much with single coils since they don't seem to benefit as much from the coloration or the treble boost ... it is a good pedal to have on board when you need that little something extra to get the right tone ... built solid

For a simple one knob booster, this little box of magical tones is the king

There's something else in there that adds some sustain and clarity and generally improves the overall tone

If you're trying to achieve a clean tone from your amp the added break up that this pedal may produce might not be desirable.

I began to realize that maybe it was just a weak signal coming from the guitar that was causing the somewhat anemic tone and, more importantly lackluster response and feel while playing

Makes your tone BETTER bottom line!
