The Boost / Overdrive combines the popular Boost / Line Driver circuit with a dynamic overdrive circuit.
The Boost / Overdrive offers the combination of a simple dynamic overdrive and an independent clean boost circuit, all in a compact pedal. The overdrive section is truly "classic", adding warmth, sustain and punch, without coloring your sound. It can go from a slightly saturated bluesy sound to a full metal crunch with a twist of the gain knob. The MC402 can also go clean when you turn down the volume on your guitar, making it extremely touch sensitive and responsive to picking dynamics, without becoming too thin. The boost circuit alone is a bonus, as it's the exact same circuit CAE has used for years to solve a wide variety of signal conditioning problems in major guitar systems. The MC402's high-quality components provide quiet operation and smooth interaction with the other pedals on your board. In keeping with CAE tradition, the design is simple and straightforward, with minimal controls-only what's needed to get the job done.
