Keeley Electronics Java Boost Treble Gain Booster Pedal
The Java Boost is a germanium based treble booster, it is not a clean boost. It is designed to give you classic tones from the 60's and 70's. It must be used with a cranked amp that is overdriven or distorting a bit already. The more the amp and pedal are cranked, the more the creamy, beautiful, sustaining distortion there will be. It is a Treble Booster by design, not a typical overdrive or distortion pedal. That means, the higher the note played, the more it gets amplified... and then, by your amp, distorted. Bass notes get cut in two of the modes on the Java Boost!
It is most widely used with a tube amp set to a bit of overdrive or clipping. That is the key to getting a great sound from this pedal. For example, setting the java boost in front of a very clean amp with the volume on 1-2 will surely result in a fairly weak guitar tone! Set the amp for some breakup, then click the java on.
