29 Pedals JFET Boost Effect Pedal

At the heart of the 29 Pedals JFET Boost pedal is a profound appreciation for the JFET transistor, celebrated in the audio domain for its likeness to the tonal warmth of vacuum tubes. As per 29 Pedals tradition, the JFET is not just another off-the-shelf concept. It's an original design, a reimagined rendition of the standard boost circuit, bringing sophistication and improved tone to the forefront.

At its core, the JFET circuit flaunts three distinct modes. 'N' for “normal” provides a nearly treble boost-esque resonance, while 'F' introduces a tad more depth. Yet, the star of the show is the 'X' mode. This setting extends the frequency spectrum to below 10Hz, offering a profound sense of richness without an overpowering EQ feel. This vast frequency span also refines the phase, laying down an unparalleled firmness in sound. With the L control, the pedal provides command over the level. As it resides after the boost circuit and before the output driver, the gain from the initial stage remains unvaried. This ensures a consistent tone, regardless of how you choose to modulate it. Furthermore, the output driver following the L control guarantees a stable output impedance, with the JFET producing a substantial 19dB of gain.

Positioned after a buffer or as a consistent input driver at the beginning of the board, the JFET stands out. Its compatibility with pedals like EUNA, FLWR, and OAMP, and its ability to manage substantial loads with high headroom makes it a versatile fit. Its signature WHATEVER power jack accommodates any power source between 7.5 to 35 volts, AC or DC, irrespective of polarity, with a standard barrel size. Along with its relay-based switching, it promises instant-bypass whenever power is disconnected.
