The Mad Professor Ruby Red Booster is a clean boost and treble booster pedal with Master, Boost, and Treble controls, plus an internal switch for a high-quality buffer in bypass mode. Boost sets the gain of the booster from unity up to roughly 40dB, high enough that the pedal begins to distort internally when cranked, letting it double as a light overdrive. Treble adds up to about 15dB of carefully tuned high-end boost with an optimized bass slope, and Master sets the final output level after the booster stage. It is a versatile utility pedal that functions as a regular boost, a treble booster, or a light overdrive depending on how the Boost control is set.
The Shin's Music Dumbloid B is a boost/overdrive variant within Shin's Music's Dumble-inspired Dumbloid lineup, offering a differently configured take on the ODS-style circuit compared to the standard Dumbloid, likely emphasizing boost functionality alongside the core overdrive character. It shares the family's focus on capturing Dumble Overdrive Special-style tonal character, adapted for players wanting a specific boost-oriented variant of the acclaimed circuit.
