Flexible boost optionsTC Electronic’s Spark Booster isn’t another one-knob boost pedal, it features gain, level, and a 3-way boost characteristics switch. The gain knob will let you add a little grit to your sound, while the level knob drives your amp and can add up to 26db of boost. Spark Booster’s switch has three settings: clean, fat, and mid. Clean gives your signal a clean boost, fat adds girth to your single-coil sounds, and the mid setting punches through the mix with a snarl.

2-band EQ lets you contour your tone to perfectionUnlike most boost pedals on the market, TC Electronic’s Spark Booster features a 2-band EQ. These active controls work independently of each other like a graphic EQ. This gives you precise control of each band so you can dial in that perfect tone. When the EQ knobs are set to noon they are completely transparent and will not affect your signal.

True bypass circuitry protects your toneIt may not seem like a big deal, but the Spark Booster’s true bypass circuitry plays a major role in preserving your tone when it’s not in use, especially if you have an elaborate pedalboard setup. You see, when not in use, the Spark Booster’s true bypass design takes it completely out of your signal chain. That means your signal doesn’t run through the entire pedal’s circuitry, which can effectively add yards of passive “cable length” to your system – a recipe for adding noise to your sound. Thanks to the TC Electronic Spark Booster’s true bypass switching, your signal stays pure and your tone remains free from unnecessary noise.
