Description

Give your guitar or bass rig a boost. The QBoost does it all – from transparent frequency boost to saturated overdrive and ‘dying amp’ fuzz. Studios, stages, and bedrooms. It works wherever you need it to, making good tones great.

The standard version of the QBoost was released due to high demand after the initial limited run of 500 units. This version features new artwork and a plastic voicing switch, but is otherwise identical to the original version.
