Gear Hunter

Classic rock and British blues tone, think Eric Claptons Beano tone, think Jimmy Page, think Rory Gallagher. The 108Master has a huge dose of gritty boost on tap, as you increase the boost so does the grit, and a range dial to add in some low mids if you want to fatten thing up. There's also a bright switch with will just take the presence down if the boost becomes too spiky for your rig but will maintain the grittyness. This pedal takes no prisoners there's nothing gentle about the 108Master is a full on rock beast, just read the reviews from other owners.

This is NOT a clean boost at all, but will still need a slightly gainy amp just on breakup or an overdrive stacked with it for the full effect. They actually sound a bit lifeless into a clean amp and it is still a wonder to me how that translates once it is coupled with something more pushed. A cooking tube amp or a Klon or a Blues Breaker type pedal set low gain, and goose it hard with the 108 Master for some seriously cool sounds. Your tone will leap out and picking dynamics become so much more prominent and articulate. The range dial can add back some low mids to fill out the sound and this will also add a touch more gain, add to taste, I prefer it dialed right back for lovely open and expressive tones.
