SPECIFICATIONS
VERTEX BOOST SET UP OPTIONS
Example 1– Vertex Boost as gain booster w/EXP
When the Boost is positioned after the guitar, before any other distortion or overdrive pedals the Boost will function as a gain booster. This means that if you stack the boost in combination with other overdrive or distortion pedals following it, it will not increase the output level of your signal, but rather add more gain/distortion to your signal.
Example 2 – Vertex Boost as level booster w/EXP
When the Boost is positioned after distortion or overdrive devices, but before any time-based pedals (delay and/or reverb), the Boost will function as a level booster. This means that if you stack the boost in combination with other overdrive or distortion pedals before it, it will only add more volume level to your signal, and not change the tone of the pedals coming before it.
Example 3 – Vertex Boost as a gain booster (no EXP)
When the Boost is positioned after the guitar, before any other distortion or overdrive pedals the Boost will function as a gain booster. This means that if you stack the boost in combination with other overdrive or distortion pedals following it, it will not increase the output level of your signal, but rather add more gain/distortion to your signal.
Example 4 – Vertex Boost as level booster (no EXP)
When the Boost is positioned after distortion or overdrive devices, but before any time-based pedals (delay and/or reverb), the Boost will function as a level booster. This means that if you stack the boost in combination with other overdrive or distortion pedals before it, it will only add more volume level to your signal, and not change-the tone of the pedals coming before it.
Example 5 – Vertex Boost in effects loop (no EXP)
When the Boost is positioned an amplifier FX Loop it can be used as a master volume. This means that you can boost your signal without the risk of overdriving the preamp section of your amplifier
Example 6 – Vertex Boost in effects loop w/EXP
When the Boost is positioned in an amplifier FX Loop it can be used as a master volume. This means that you can boost your signal without the risk of overdriving the preamp section of your amplifier.
