Introduction:
Need some extra boost for your sound? Got an amp
that needs more drive? Do you need a good clean
boost for solos? Have those musical moments that
need something extra to push them over the top? Well
NASA* recommends you plug into a Rocktron Reaction Super Booster. (That’s *National Association of
Super Abilities).
The Reaction Super Booster provides up to 20dBu
of gain, while enhancing the tonal response of your
guitar with your amplier. Using a singular FET ultra
high impedance input stage that is analogous to a tube
stage, the Super Booster can rise to any occasion and
give the warmth and soft clipping when boost is all
the way up that only a FET can provide.
Rocktron’s Reaction Series pedals are built into a rugged metal slim form factor chassis, taking up as little
space as possible on your pedal board. The Reaction
Super Booster is a TRUE BYPASS pedal: when you
turn it off…it is out of your signal path!
A simple control called BOOST determines the Gain
applied to the input source. How much extra do you
need? Get solos and special effects jumping out of
the mix with higher setting of the BOOST control. By
using lower settings of the BOOST control you will
nd extra edge in your chords. Lower settings will
also give you enhanced articulation.
The Reaction Super Booster pedal sounds great when
placed before all other stomp boxes in your signal
