Bigfoot Trouble Booster Mini
£129.99
Our passive guitar boost pedal.
Overview
The Bigfoot Trouble Booster Mini is a passive boost pedal which preserves your guitar's natural tone.
Sound
This pedal is designed to add 16dB of heat to your guitar's pickups. It works wonderfully at hitting the front of your amplifier harder, allowing you to keep your tone intact while increasing sustain and harmonic overtones. Thanks to it’s studio quality transformer, this pedal exhibits a wonderful compression which is comparable to tape saturation.
Features
This pedal doesn't require batteries or a power supply. It utilises transformer gain, much like a studio microphone preamp, resulting in a sonic warmth which doesn't compromise fidelity.

This is the perfect compact boost pedal for tone aficionados.

Bigfoot Trouble Booster
£179.99
Our flagship boost pedal (NOS Germanium).
Overview
The Bigfoot Trouble Booster is a germanium treble booster pedal with some unique modern features for unlocking many more great tones.
Sound
This pedal has 2 settings: the Bright mode is inspired by the vintage Greg Fryer and Dallas Rangemaster treble boosters, capturing the classic Vox AC30 Top Boost and Brian May (Queen) sounds. The Normal mode provides a wealth of fatter overdriven tones inspired by Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), packed full of rich harmonics.
Features
Although we still use hand picked NOS germanium transistors, we use negative ground wiring so you can integrate the pedal into modern pedalboards. It also features an invaluable Bright/Normal switch for toggling between the classic treble booster sound and a fuller, fatter tone.
Applications
This is the perfect tool for getting two distinct, very high quality dirty tones from one pedal.
Controls
-Boost Volume control (top left).
-Boost Bright/Normal toggle switch (top right).
-Boost on/off foot switch (bottom right).
-Boost on/off indicator LED (top middle).
Connections
