The Darkglass Harmonic Booster 2 is a preamp/boost pedal that lets you enhance the harmonic content of your sound while staying within the clean to low-gain realm. This means that you can enhance your sound with minimal effect on its clarity and definition.
It has a Boost knob that behaves like a level knob, allowing for +/- 20dB boost or cut.
The Character knob lets you blend the preamp voicing to your tone, going from transparent to full preamp voicing.
Other controls are for tone shaping via EQ, with smaller knobs for bass and treble, and bigger knobs for Mid gain and Mid Freq.
If you’re looking for a transparent sounding Boost/Preamp pedal for your bass then this is for you.
