Alexander Pedals Litho Boost
Alexander Pedals · pedal
The Alexander Pedals Litho Boost is an analog Class-A boost pedal based on the Pharaoh Amplifiers Class-A Boost circuit. A Contour control sweeps from transparent and glassy at low settings to fat, gritty, and powerful at high settings, making the pedal function as a transparent clean boost or a harmonically richer boost edging into light overdrive. A Tone control adjusts high-frequency content and the Volume can push enough signal to drive a tube amp into natural breakup. Works well as an EQ sculptor or low-gain tone enhancer in almost any chain position.
