The new Radial Elevator is a pedal that successfully achieves what others were designed to do but never quite made the grade. This one enhances your overall sound with no discernible change in tone between normal and boosted outputs! After all the years of searching... no need to look further. This is it!

Like most Radial boxes you can set the Elevator to do any number of cool things. I like to use it as a mid range boost straight into my super reverb. It drives the amp without adding too much gain or artificial character, like a hi-fi tube screamer.
