Thruster Power Boost Pedal
Flexible & dynamic- responsive & breath taking. The newly redesigned Thruster is simply an amazing pedal.
Placed in front of a tube amp the Thruster will make your amp squeal with delight as its fed your crystal clear uncompressed tone. Unprecedented powers of tone and warmth are now at your fingertips. Able to drive even the cleanest amplifier into clipping, if that’s what you’re after.
If you want to simply add some girth to your tone- the Thruster has plenty of intestinal fortitude… balls… its a ballsy pedal!

Amateur question: I've one of the new Jet City JC20's, and it is already a hot amp, based upon the Soldano SLO circuit. Would this work well in conjunction with another one of your pedals? Or is this strictly for juicing an amp without additional help from an overdrive pedal?
admin says
I’m not sure I’m following your question.
The Thruster is a boost pedal that would be killer in front of that Jet City… as far as working with other pedals- yes it sounds good with a distortion or overdrive in front of it as well, but you would NOT use it in front of other overdrives.

Im playing on a Mesa Dual rectifier with a Ibanez 7 string dropped one full step. Im looking for boost pedal. which one do you suggest the Dead horse or the Thruster? thx
Dennis says
The Thruster would be a better match. The Dead Horse comes with a much higher price tag to do things you really don’t need.

Hi, excuse me for write in english, is so hard to me to explain me.
tengo un JCM800 y dos guitarras Les Paul, una con Dimarzio SuperDistortion, y otra con Dimarzio PAF 36th Aniversary, cuando cambio de guitarra hay una diferencia de volumen notable debido a la diferencia de output de las pickups, quisiera saber si con este pedal puedo equilibrar los volumenes de las guitarras, sin tener que tocar los knobs del ampli y sin que me varie el tono.
Gracias.
Dennis says
Sí, usted puede usar esto para equilibrar sus niveles de señal.
Gracias!
Roberto says
Ok…but without tonality changes?
Thanks!
Dennis says
No habrá un gran cambio en el tono.
