Godlyke, Inc. has annouced the release of the SexyBoost2 from Cicognani Engineering. Designed by the “Guru” Guglielmo Cicognani, the SexyBoost2 is an analog, tube-driven booster pedal that is perfect for pushing the front-end of a tube amp or as a level booster in a loop.
The SexyBoost2 circuit is centered around a 12AU7 preamp tube that provides maximum headroom and transparency. The pedal features two discreet, footswitchable channels. The first channel is a clean boost with max gain of +10 dB. This channel is perfect for a thick, full-frequency rhythm sound. The second channel is a dedicated midrange boost with a max gain of +8 dB. This channel is perfect as a lead boost to pop out of a mix.
A global Treble/Bass Cut control rounds out the SexyBoost2 and allows the user to fine tune the pedal’s tone for use with a variety of amps.

- Tube booster pedal based around 12AU7/ECC83 preamp tube
