Suhr Dual Boost (Original Blue Enclosure)
Suhr · pedal
The Suhr Dual Boost (Original Blue Enclosure) is a dual-mode transparent clean boost pedal offering two independently configurable boost modes, each with its own Boost and Hi-Cut controls, plus a global Boost Range switch selecting +10dB or +20dB maximum gain, and Suhr's proprietary mf(x) footswitch technology for switching between modes. An internal switch selects true bypass or buffered bypass operation, and a built-in battery monitor alerts players to low battery conditions, automatically defaulting to true bypass if voltage drops too low for reliable operation.
