The Apalachicola Tone Booster is a pristine, high-headroom boost pedal, a powerful and deep tone shaper, and a high fidelity, saturated overdrive all in one. Inspired by the venerable Korg TNB-1, it's just as useful as an always-on preamp at the beginning of a pedal chain, an always-on preamp at the end of the chain before an amp, or as an always-on preamp in place of an amp for running into a DI box or a power amplifier. And that's just the clean mode.

The mode switch adds silicon (up) or germanium (down) clipping diodes for two flavors of overdrive*. Paired with the amp-like TMB tone stack, the Apalachicola can serve as a "dirty channel" preamp, a dirty booster, or a fantastic overdrive that can sit anywhere in on a pedalboard. 

Powered by 27V from an internal charge pump, the Apalachicola is clean and clear and pretty dang loud. That asterisk (*) in the preceding paragraph is there because the gain knob is very powerful and will drive the op-amp to the rails, turning the clean mode into a touch-sensitive and responsive third overdrive setting.  

Powered by a 9V (only! no more!) Boss-standard center-negative power supply. Features a soft-touch footswitch with mechanical relay true-bypass. 

Made in the Florida Panhandle.
