Description
Introducing the TC Electronic Spark Mini Booster, a game-changing addition to your guitar rig. This pedal is not just about making your guitar louder. It's about enhancing your signal with up to 20 dB, breathing new life into your sound, and driving your amp to new heights.
The Spark Mini Booster is the perfect companion for every guitarist who wants to push their sound to the next level. The level controls let you dial in the perfect amount of boost or drive for your amp, giving you complete control over your tone.
What sets the Spark Mini Booster apart from other boost pedals is the PrimeTime feature. This clever innovation understands when you want the boost to be permanent or temporary. Tap the footswitch once for a permanent boost, or hold it down for a temporary lift. This gives you a whole new level of dynamic control, perfect for those who want to add some variation to their performance.
The Spark Mini Booster utilizes a discrete analog circuit, ensuring that your tone remains pure and true. Plus, the true bypass feature guarantees that your signal will not be affected when the pedal is off.
Key Features:
- Up to 20 dB signal enhancement
- Level controls for level increase or additional drive for amps
- PrimeTime feature for dynamic boost control
- True bypass
- Discrete analog circuit

Gorgeous booster
It has a nice behavior with anything you put in front of it, it adds volume output to make anything sound full (balls!) with no added grit (though it could obviously cause your amp or other gains stages to do that). I use it through my FX loop to increase my output volume. Is a very useful tool as it excels on the regular application that one expects from (clean) boosters but also stands ahead of the rest with its PrimeTime feature (dual action switch that works as momentary or permanent depending on your foot action if you just quickly tap or if you hold it pressed), this nice bonus just sets it apart from any of its competitors by offering a peculiar approach of inspiring potential.

My secret weapon
Whenever I want to stand out on a lead part when performing live this pedal has me covered. What set apart this booster from the others in the market is the momentary switch that comes handy in many situations. 100% clean boost signal when placed at the end of the pedal chain and gain boost when placed before the overdrives and fuzz.

its all gain boost, gain doesn't mean distortion, its electronics speak, shorthand for gain in voltage... sound smart and understand that anything before your power amp that's boosting signal is gain, gain in voltage

Awesome boost unit
This is a transparent awesome boost unit, very cheap, around 40 bucks, and great build quality, will give you what you need depending where you wanna place it in your signal chain, i prefer it after everything and before my amp, gives a clear transparent volume bump to make lead work shine
Good boost, but not great
its a great boost pedal, very easy to use, small size and beautiful print. only one negative is its a very sparkly and has a lots of high frequencies which i dont like in my strat

Great little pedal
I had not much room on my pedal board and I needed a volume booster when I was practicing with my band at the rehearsal factory with different amps so I bought this little guy. Great pedal. You can use it as a volume booster if placed in the effects loop of your amp or if you place it in front of your amp it will give you a little overdrive. Very versatile pedal.

Better than micro amp
Small, useful, practical and elegant. Love the momentary function, you have nothing to envy to the competition.

The cleanest boost
Are you looking for a really clean, transparent boost for your pedalboard? Say no more. This little box is what you need. It won't increase the mid frequencies like the Xotic EP Booster does, (not a bad thing, but it isn't my thing). It will do what is build for: increasing your overall volume. A side note: you won't hear any clipping when activated.

It's Transparent...no really, it is.
If you're looking for a completely transparent boost pedal this is the one. It can boost up to 20dB without colouring your tone at all. The PrimTime (tm) switching allows you to either switch it on and off as you would normally expect to, but also allows momentary operation if you hold the switch down. The smaller size makes it easy to patch it into your existing chain, wherever you choose to place it.

Awesome
It's a fantastic booster. I had some fun playing my lap steel while switching it on and off. I don't have a lot to say about it. I would definitely recommend this pedal to everyone.
