A super compact clean boost, buffer and volume!

Boasting a compact enclosure that's 33% slimmer than its predecessor, the Vertex Boost MKII belongs on every tone-obsessed guitarist's pedalboard.

While the Boost MKII offers a myriad of useful functions, it's a clean booster at heart.

Its straightforward Level knob ranges from unity gain to a healthy 16dB.

Placing the Boost MKII in front of your amp or dirt boxes adds saturation and sustain to your signal.

Placing it after your preamp and dirt boxes gives you a full-range level increase.

Best of all, the Boost MKII doesn't change the tone of anything that comes before it: it's sonically invisible!


Connect to any Expression or Volume pedal to get total volume control!

On the rear of the Boost MKII, you'll find the 1/8-inch TRS insert.

This enables you to control your volume using an external volume or expression pedal.

When the Boost MKII is bypassed, your external pedal will behave as a typical volume pedal, sweeping from zero to unity gain.

Turn the Boost MKII on, and the treadle-style pedal will sweep from zero to wherever the stompbox's Level knob is set.

Best of all, your guitar's signal is completely isolated from the treadle-style pedal, ensuring zero impact on your tone.


Vertex Effects Boost MKII Pedal features:

• Boost pedal with 16dB of ultra-transparent gain.

• 33% slimmer than its predecessor.

• Drives your amp into saturation or gives your solos a squeaky-clean level bump.

• Insert jack enables volume adjustment via an external treadle-style pedal while keeping your guitar's signal isolated.

I use it a lot

First of all, Electric Mojo's service / price was great. Next time I need a pedal, going with you guys.

As for the pedal, the YouTube Video from Vertex explains everything and it's exactly what I wanted over other options. I'm kind of new to the world of pedals, so maybe there are other important factors but for me I wanted a very simple set of pedals: OD, boost, reverb / delay, done.

I settled on adding this boost to my simple setup because when I switch between the bridge and neck pickup on my LP, the tone that I want from the neck pickup going into my OD requires me to keep the volume pot down on my guitar. But the overall volume is too low and this is where the boost comes in for me. It boosts that warm lovely sound that I want from the neck pickup. And when I want a high gain sound from the bridge pickup I can disengage the boost. Or re-engage for solos.

Eventually I'll hook up a volume pedal and I'll have even finer control as I mess around with volume pots on the guitar between the two pickups.

I had others tell me to get a compressor instead, and maybe that would have worked to balance the volume, but maybe the tone would have changed? Maybe not, but I wouldn't have volume control on top of it via expression / volume pedal, especially one that won't have tone suck.

I can say that I probably click the boost pedal the most on my setup, more than the OD, more than reverb / delay.

When I started diving into the world of pedals, boost was not even on the list, but after using this one, I don't think I could live without it. I suppose you can likely get similar functions by getting a bunch of other pedals, but this one thing does a lot, and at least for me, and for the sake of simplicity, it's exactly what I want. I understand now why some pros speak so glowingly about it.
