The OSTARA is a simple transistor boost pedal.
This is the pre-built pedal. Buy the point-to-point kit version here: Ostara Boost Kit
Buy the clean boost version here: Ostara Op-Amp
Differences between the OSTARA and the OSTARA Op-Amp include:
- “Full moon” artwork
- Transistor amplification for a colourful boost
- 0dB of gain at 50% knob travel
This colourful boost pedal features high-end components and point-to-point wiring. Place it before your fuzz or distortion pedal to push more saturation out of your pedal chain. Or place it before your tube amp to take optimal advantage of your amp’s distortion. The knob allows you to control the amount you are saturating the transistor, giving you full control over your amount of drive.
This style of boost pedal can attenuate your signal too. With the knob in the centre (50%), the output volume is roughly the same as the input volume. Turning it left attenuates the signal while turning it right boosts the signal up to ~20 db.
This is a made-to-order pedal. Please allow 2 weeks lead time.
