## Description

Powerful booster pedal with gain control and active EQ kicks your playing into high gear

Review: Not just a boost. Full-featured preamp - Things you might not know from reading the description and other reviews: * 100% transparent unity gain. Gain all the way down; switch clean; level 12:00; bass 12:00; treble 12:00. Set your amp how you like and play while toggling the footswitch. You CANNOT hear the difference in gain or EQ. NO dirt, NO EQ change, NO level change. IMO, this is the difference between a good boost and a great one. * Level: Off is Off. When you set it up for unity gain with Level at 12:00, 26dB level boost is from 12 to 5:00. Level cut is from 12:00 CCW down to 7:00. When Level is at minimum, no signal is passed, regardless of the settings of other controls. That means in addition to all the boost options, you can do any kind of volume preset with this pedal, higher or lower, with or without gain or EQ. If you like to set your amp for lead tone with your guitar all out, and roll back volume for rhythm, you can set a lower rhythm volume on the spark and do it with your foot. Being able to go from -inf to +26dB is again, the difference between a good boost and a great one. * How Much Hair? What can you get from the gain control? Everything a stock BOSS SD-1 can do. I A/B'd them. If you dime an SD-1, you can get a dead-on match from the Spark into a clean amp. To my ears, it was Gain 3:00, switch mid, level 3:00, bass 9:00, treble 3:00. So it's not "just a little breakup". The pedal is misnamed. Its not a booster, it's a Boost/OD. * EQ, and the secret switch. No joke. If you put the EQ knobs to 12:00 and the switch to clean, there is no EQ change. Adding gain does change the EQ, because the gain has more low mids than the no-gain signal. The EQ knobs are boost/cut, but less than you expect, +/- 6 or 8dB instead of the typical 12 or 15. To get more radical EQ, use fat switch to get more lows (300-600Hz to my ears) and mid to get more highs (800-1200Hz -ish). Because an EQ boost also raises the level, going from clean to mid or fat increases the dirt as well as changing the tone. So when looking for a sound, start in the clean setting, and play with gain, level and EQ. If you need a little more, hit the mid switch. or use fat to make a thick commanding tone. * OD vs. Distortion. This pedal is absolutely an overdrive. You can get OD from the gain control with level at any setting, from driving your amp's preamp circuit and high Level, or both. And you can get it with or without a tube screamer-style mid hump by using the mid switch. But it is not a distortion pedal. if you want to understand the difference between OD and distortion, plug the spark into a clean amp, and try different settings. Everything you get from it will be OD, and none of it will be distortion. However, you CAN get distortion with a spark by using it in front of an amp set to crunch, or an OD pedal that already has some saturation dialed in. IMO, this is a gain stacking swiss army knife. Try it before or after any gain stage you've got. In summary, the Spark is: 1. A completely transparent unity gain buffer 2. A completely transparent 26dB gain boost 3. A completely transparent gain cut, down to -inf 4. A full featured overdrive with or without TS mid hump 5 A full-featured Hi-z preamp with both subtle and major EQ shifts on tap, and variable dirt. 6. An endless source of amusement for gain-stackers. The only reason not to buy one is because you bought two.
Review: Highly Recommended - This is a very good boost pedal but also serves as a light overdrive. You have a lot of tone shaping capabilities. You have a volume, drive, bass, and treble knobs. The switch has a fat, clean, and midrange setting. In the clean mode, you get just a bit of drive, but when you switch to the fat or mid settings then the amount of drive you can get increases substantially. The pedal is well calibrated because even in either of these settings, you can still go to a completely clean boost. The tone of the pedal is very good as well. It is very transparent, if you want it to be, and has no weird artifacts or brittleness. It is a very smooth, nice sounding pedal. While you can use this for a drive pedal if you are the kind of player who likes the natural sound of an amp overdriving, you cannot use this as a full on drive pedal. There is more than enough drive for me, but I know that it won't be enough for people who would normally crank a TubeScreamer up past more than a third of the way. You can see that the engineers thought this pedal out well with little things like putting in one big screw at the bottom that opens the full plate to access the battery that can be opened with a coin, and while the screw can be separated from the plate, it has a clever design so that it won't come off unless you intentionally do so. The pedal was a/b-ed with a Fulltone Fatboost pedal and a Lovepedal Eternity and the tone was either a pinch better or almost comparable, respectively. The Spark Booster has much greater tone shaping capabilities than either of these two. Construction seems good but I did not open up the board, and only time will tell how it holds up. The last added bonus is that this pedal, while engineered in Denmark, I believe, is made in Thailand were quality control and standards of workmanship are much higher than those of China, where everything seems to have one problem or another. Of course, made in the USA is better, as the other two pedals are. My only complaint is that I don't really like the color schemes and graphic design. It's a bit too virginal and bright. It reminds me of the old rock band Angel, and would fit in well on the alter of a church, but that's just me. Since they are using the graphic of a spark plug, they should have come up with something that evokes racing cars or fire, with a nice candy apple red or something but, oh well, can't have everything.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice!
*by H***E on January 28, 2022*

This is a very versatile boost and light gain pedal. I love it because it doesn’t raise the noise floor at all like when I use my compressor as a boost. It also just generally makes my tone sound really clean, shimmery, and snappy. Sizzly and bell-like tones are equally achievable in my use of it so far. I’ve used it so far with my telecaster mostly. It works great in conjunction with my compressor too, allowing me to get that effect without having to turn the compressor level up and get that white hiss. It also jives great before or after overdrive. It can be an overdrive by itself too, a very fine-grained one, and the eg and mode switch makes it very versatile. You can really sculpt timbres out of it that help it poke out or blend in various ways, and it gooses all effects down the line in a pleasant way. If you use a passive pickup on your acoustic like I do, it is great for bringing the level up to nestle in a mix without as much noise as a turned up eq pedal might. Sturdy construction too, and it is also great on bass as others have pointed out. A great buy at well under a Benjamin.
