SoloBooster FAQ/Technical Requirements:
IF YOUR AMPLIFIER DOES NOT HAVE AN EFFECTS LOOP, YOU
CANNOT USE
SOLOBOOSTER WITH YOUR AMP!
If you connect any signal boosting pedal between the guitar and the
amplifier’s instrument input socket, it will just cause the amp’s
distortion circuitry to be more or less distorted, not louder!!
It’s just the same as varying your guitar's volume control. So it has to
be placed in the Effects Loop after the distortion circuitry. This would
be true of any make signal boosting pedal.
We are asked all the time if SoloBooster will work with specific amps, but
sadly we do not have knowledge of all (most) of them. Your instruction
manual should provide some clues, hopefully. If not, please save time by
asking your amplifier maker directly.
SoloBooster requires an FX Loop that will drive a 10k ohms load - similar
to most professional effects units. This is not, by any means, an
unreasonable requirement. Therefore, SoloBooster has been designed to this
standard and will work well with nearly all (most) modern amplifiers which
employ solid state FX Loop designs.
However, SoloBooster will not work with some pure 'valve' driven effects
loops. Valves are weak and cannot drive modern ‘pro’ effects units too
well. That's why most decent modern valve amps use solid state circuitry
at this point. Solid state is superb for this kind of work, although the 'Toob
Quacks' on the Internet would have you believe otherwise.
You must have the right tools for the job, if you want modern
compatibility, even with valve amps. Fortunately, most modern valve amps
do have solid state FX Loops, but a few don’t. So please be sure before
you order a SoloBooster. Ask your amp maker!!
Requires two standard mono guitar cables and a 9V 6F22 battery -not
included Don’t forget... we make the highest quality guitar cables at the
