The result is a germanium clean boost where you can utilize a germanium
transistor WITH- OUT the weird artifacts that were previously accepted as part
of the deal...temperature sensitivity, drift, and suboptimal input impedance
and headroom. It takes about 10 seconds when the boost is first powered up for
the error correction circuit to bias the germanium transistor. After that it
gets interesting....we can hear how it makes guitar signals sound more
musical...even when set at the same volume as the bypassed tone. It seems to
bring out the attack of the guitar while simultaneously smoothing out notes,
like a compressor but different. It’s hard to describe. It appears to cut the
bad parts of a signal and enhance the good. It’s killer on bass. It helps
acoustic guitar pickups sound more natural. And of course it’ll push your amp
into a frenzy.
