Critic Reviews

Suhr Koko Boost pedal – review – Fat Sound

wordpress.com

The Suhr Koko Boost pedal shines with its flexibility and quality, offering both a clean, transparent boost and adjustable midrange colorations. While its £200 price tag may deter some, its ability to cut through band mixes makes it worth the investment. The pedal's true bypass and switchable buffer ensure signal integrity, making it ideal for both small and large stage settings. However, the need for a buffer in longer signal chains might be a consideration for some users. Overall, a stellar choice for those seeking a versatile boost pedal with high performance.
