Great boutique pedal Made in Brazil inspired by the Boss FA-1

This boutique pedal Made in Brazil, by Murdoch Effects, is a clone of the long discontinued Boss FA-1 FET Amplifier. However, I feel this one is even better than the original, with high quality design, sound and features. You can use it as a preamp or booster to improve your guitar sound. It can be used both on acoustic and electric guitars. I particularly like to use it with large pedal boards, in order to improve the signal throughout the chain. Highly recommended.
