Champion Leccy The Fettle Boost V2 Effect Pedal

Champion Leccy's Fettle Boost V2 dives headfirst into the realm of gain staging, providing guitarists and bassists with a unique tool that's as versatile as it is innovative. Built around a primary JFET gain stage, this pedal pushes the boundaries of tonal shaping from clean boost to filthy cronch.

The 'clart' switch introduces a BJT gain stage that can drastically enhance or subtly flavor your sound. Meanwhile, the eponymously named 'fettle' knob controls the bias of the JFET. By adjusting this knob, users can alter the gain, creating a broad spectrum of soundscapes.

The "hip ass" switch presents a three-position high-pass filter for a slight bass roll-off or boosting highs. On the flip side, the newly introduced "lop ass" switch is a 3-way low-pass filter. This feature expands the pedal's versatility, allowing for precise trimming of the treble frequencies.

Beyond its impressive technical capabilities, the Fettle Boost V2 shines in various applications. While it can give a powerful kick to the front end of amps or dirt pedals, its unique design makes it equally adept as an always-on preamp.
