NUX LacerateLacerate is a mini pedal with a huge boost, using our Dual FET Circuit Design.It features 1 simple control knob, 2 types of boost options, and 2 bypass modes.There are 2 Boost ModesClean BoostIn the Clean mode, Lacerate only boosts the signal, increasing the volume without any sound colorization. For this reason, Lacerate is one of the cleanest ?clean boost? pedals available.Crank BoostIf you want fat, harmonically rich boost tone, just hold down the foot-switch (1 second) to engage the 2nd stage 7 which adds your overdrive tone. Most boost pedals will only yield about +20dB maximum, but Lacerate`s Crank mode gives you a whopping +35dB. From average to huge!--Higher Voltage, Increased Headroom Dynamic Lacerate?s integrated voltage-doubler automatically converts 9V to 18V giving you ginormous headroom and dynamic. WARNING: To avoid damage to voltage doubler circuit, please ONLY use 9V Power Source.It will handle the conversion.True Bypass or Buffer BypassDoubling the voltage to 18V gives you better dynamic, but it also creates a better headroom buffer. A lot of professional guitar players start their signal-chain with a stand-alone buffer. Lacerate has an embedded selectable buffer bypass.You can change the bypass mode by turning on the power while holding the footswitch.Summary:*True Bypass/ Buffer Bypass*2 types of boost options (Clean Crank)*Dual FET Circuit Design for the most tube-like tone in a transistor design
