Description
This is not a clean boost! The Chorister is an old school treble booster that boosts the mid and upper frequencies - the resultant tone cuts through a mix well. The level control allows you to control the level of the boost. At low levels there's a hint of overdrive. At higher levels there is some nice breakup and the pedal will begin to push the front of your amplifier. It is not always nice into clean sounds - stick it in front of something already overdriven - especially thicker tones.
This version uses a Germanium transistor. Germanium transistors are loved by many for their dynamic and expressive character. Germanium transistors also have different frequency responses - when compared to Silicon - which can result in a more vintage or retro sound.
Power is supplied via a standard 9v centre negative power supply only - no internal battery.
