A tone shaper & drive inspired by the iconic UA 610 preamp!
Introducing the DCX Boost, a tone shaper & drive pedal inspired by the iconic UA 610 recording preamp.
This new offering from Origin Effects adds vintage, analog color to your signal, as well as precise control of level and EQ.
From subtle boosts and tone tweaks to fuzz-like cranked console saturation, the DCX Boost enhances anything that passes through its circuit, just like you’d expect from a great retro recording preamp!
Great care has been taken to ensure a fully flat frequency response when desired, with EQ controls specially designed for guitar, allowing generous boosting of bass and treble without sacrificing low-end clarity or overemphasising upper harmonics.
EQ and OD modes select between cleaner and dirtier sounds, while the Voice switch features Origin Effects' Adaptive Circuitry, previously seen their Halcyon Overdrive and M-EQ Driver.
This switch gives extra control over the high-end and adapts the voicing of the pedal in response to playing dynamics and volume knob changes.
With all-analog, studio-derived circuitry and a sophisticated balance of precision and character, the DCX Boost can craft the perfect clean boost, mimic classic direct to console tones or serve up saturated vintage overdrive!

• Inspired by the iconic UA 610 preamp.
• EQ and OD modes provide a versatile gain range.
• EQ controls designed for maximum clarity.
