Für mich und meine Anwendung mit Akustikgitarre und Schallloch- Tonabnehmer (magnetisch) ergibt sich ein absolut geiler Ton, der das eher bescheidene Signal noch schön boostet und es an die nachfolgenden Pedale stark genug weitergibt. Würde ich sofort wieder kaufen

Description
Realizing your potential.
Spark Booster works wonders as an always on-type of effect - adding life, grit and compression to your sound in a way that just oozes tone and musicality. Add body, punch and warmth to pickups, drive amps to peak performance and enhance the sonic possibilities of existing sounds. Spark Booster also shines when used as a pure level boost. It's the perfect tool to prime solos, highlight parts and add another musical dimension to your amp or Overdrive/Distortion pedal - to really drive that killer solo, lick or riff home.
Spark Booster's feature set is all about you - maximizing what you already have and realizing your potential. The level knob allows you to add 26 dB of boost - it raises your volume without altering the character of your tone in any way. Spark Booster's Gain knob is perfect for adding a hint of breakup or slight compression to a clean amp.
The active EQ controls consist of Bass and Treble knobs - which allow you to cut and boost these frequencies. They form the perfect tone shaping tool and because they are active EQs, Spark Booster can amplify frequency areas as well, and be used to create deep, extended lows or to add beautiful top-end sparkle. Also, Spark Booster is True-bypass, guaranteeing optimal tonal integrity.
Rounding out the feature set of Spark Booster is a little toggle switch that allows for three settings. The 'Clean' setting means the pedal boosts your signal equally across the frequency spectrum. The 'Fat' setting fattens up sounds and adds life and punch to your sound, and allows for precise tonal shaping with the EQ and Gain knobs. The Mid-boost section provides a bump in the mids that is both musical and pronounced. It cuts through any mix with heaps of unprecedented clarity and allows you to be heard like never before.
Drive, driven full circle.
Spark Booster is the fourth entry for Overdrive/Distortion pedals in our compact pedal series, and rounds up our lineup on these type of pedal platform. Based on the runaway
success of the classic-sounding Dark Matter Distortion, the more modern voiced Röttweiler Distortion and the MojoMojo Overdrive, Spark Booster had to be the grand finale to our take on drive, distortion and boost. Simply put, we wanted to make this one truly special and in order to do so, we took inspiration from our own history.
Rooted in tradition - aimed at rebellion.
Whether you are a starting guitarist or a seasoned pro, chances are you've heard of us at some point. For many this will be about our reputation in Reverbs, Delay and Modulation effects, but for guitarists who know and love their boost- and distortion greats, it will be about one of our first pedals: the TC Electronic Booster + Line Driver & Distortion. A true classic in its own right and the perfect starting point for Spark Booster. To this day, the Booster + Line Driver & Distortion is used by high-profile pros as diverse as Scott Ian (Anthrax) and Allan Holdsworth, and it is a highly sought after pedal on the used market. We took all that made the Booster + Line Driver & Distortion so immensely popular and brought it into the 21st century. And so, Spark Booster is not a 1:1 port, nor is it a reissue or a tribute. Rather than that, Spark Booster represents a modern take on all that made the TC Electronic Booster + Line Driver & Distortion such a fantastic pedal - and the ultimate declaration of our love for amazing boost and distortion sounds, aimed squarely at guitarists that want to spark their creativity.

Echt eine Bereicherung für meinen Röhrenverstärker.
Wer seinen Gitarrensound möglichst clean mag und ihn leicht veredeln möchte, dem kann ich den Spark Booster sehr empfehlen.
Was ich besonders mag, ist, dass Spark Booster weniger auf Verzerrung (Distortion) ausgelegt ist, sondern hauptsächlich auf Equalizer (EQ) und Sättigung (Saturation), was eine sehr natürliche Kompression erzeugt, obwohl es kein Kompressor ist. TC selbst erklärt: 'Spark is mainly a booster with a little saturation build into it, it's not a compressor.' Spark Booster klingt fett und teuer! Die Verarbeitung (Made in China, wie fast alles) ist tadellos.
Solider , universeller Git./ Bass-Booster mit vielen Einstellmöglichkeiten der sich dank dem Gain-Regler auch leicht anzerren lässt.....
Gut gemacht TC!
nice preamp for the extra 'spark' - for the price , a must have to get the extra kick out of your guitar
Verwende ihn für 2 Kanalverstärker. Auch beim anpassen des kleinen Schalters an zum clean sound oder /fat ist der Volumenunterschied nicht wirklich gleich. Entweder viel zu laut oder zu zu leise. Würde ich nicht wieder kaufen
Dieses Pedal ist nglaublich vielfältig verwendbar! Es gibt dem Sound etwas einzigartiges.
Der Spark Booster macht Druck ohne Ende. Genau das hat gefehlt
Ob einfach als clean Boost für eine Single Coil Gitarre, um ein Overdrivepedal zu füttern oder um einen (zu) cleanen Fender Amp doch noch etwas in Röhrenverzerrung zu schicken, ohne einen Ohrenschaden zu bekommen. Der Spark Booster ist echt vielseitig und ist wohl mein wichtigstes Pedal.
Super Booster, betreffs Dynamik ist der RC Booster von xotic aber mein favorit!
