It also has a secret weapon under the hood, an input transformer, wired to act as an inductor right at the input of the pedal, which has a couple of  benefits-

• Acts as a pickup simulator, letting you place pedals in front of it without it destroying your tone.
  
  
• Adds a very specific resonant peak around 900hz giving it that classic Queen guitar tone.

Add to that a 2 position mode switch, with either Laser Beam (brighter) or Dynamite (darker) settings for some fine tuning depending on your amp or rig in general.

This WILL need a slightly gainy amp just on breakup or an overdrive stacked with it for the full effect. They actually sound a bit lifeless into a clean amp and it is still a wonder to me how that translates once it is coupled with something more pushed. A cooking tube amp or a Klon or a Blues Breaker type pedal set low gain, and goose it hard with the May Boost for some seriously cool sounds. Your tone will leap out and picking dynamics become so much more prominent and articulate. 

I build these pedals in my garden workshop in Northamptonshire UK. That includes etching and drilling the enclosures, constructing the entire circuit 'Point to Point' only linking the components using only there leads, no boards or traces to dilute your signal. I finish the entire pedal to a standard I think looks as good inside, as it sounds on the outside. It might be covered up but when you're in that moment you KNOW the mojo you have under the hood.

Please be aware, these are totally hand built, so there might me some slight cosmetic variation between each pedal. The gun metal finish is an oxidation process and will vary slightly in shade, and sometimes shows a pleasing uneven patina due the enclosures casting process. Your pedal will age gracefully, as parts of the case wear-polish, usually around the front corners.

Please note, all my silicon pedals have a boss style 2.1 center negative DC jack only, there is no battery snap.
