JAM Pedals Boomster mk.2

JAM Pedals Boomster mk.2: Elevate Your Tone

With its musical response and increased headroom, the Boomster mk.2 aims to redefine the quality standards of the buffer and booster genres. Extensive testing and comparison sessions with most of the appropriate chips currently in production resulted in opting for the hi-fi-grade Texas Instruments OPA 2132 chips, which deliver effortless fidelity and lushness across the Boomster mk.2's different functions.

Versatile and Feature-Rich Design

The mission with the mk.2 version of the Boomster was to elevate it into a well-rounded boost pedal encompassing all the necessary features and functions contemporary musicians have come to expect, as well as to offer a standalone buffer that not only sounds great but also feels right under the hands, making it an indispensable tone component of any rig. The Boomster mk.2 comes loaded with selectable true or buffered bypass via internal dip switches, an expression pedal input to use as a volume pedal, three minutely tuned voicing options, momentary/latching operation, and a 9-18V power-input range for variable headroom.

Powerful Booster Function

Get up to 16dB of clean, unadulterated boost with the Boomster mk.2. Place it after your drive section for a volume increase or hit the front end of your amp or different drive pedals to introduce an added gain-staging option. The three voicing options available are designed to help you precisely sculpt your tone and match different guitars, pedals, and amps to one another. These options are carefully tuned to a guitar-friendly range but have been tested to be useful with all sorts of instruments.

Superior Buffer Bypass Function

The rigorous R&D process employed for the development of the buffer inside the Boomster mk.2 accomplished the two main traits necessary for a great buffer. With the Texas Instruments OPA 2132 chip powering the buffer, the Boomster mk.2 will instantaneously bring back frequencies compromised over long signal chains without unwanted top-end harshness and compromised mids. It successfully retains the original feel of the instrument, something very few buffers achieve.

Smooth Volume Pedal Function

Pair the Boomster mk.2 with any commonly available 10k passive expression pedal and you have yourself a smooth traveling volume pedal. It starts from 0dB at the heel position all the way to wherever the L (level) knob is set if the pedal is activated, or from 0dB to unity gain when the pedal is off and in buffered bypass mode.
