Introduction: Need some extra boost for your sound? Got an amp that needs more drive? Do you need a good clean boost for solos? Have those musical moments that need something extra to push them over the top? Well NASA* recommends you plug into a Rocktron Reaction Super Booster. (That’s *National Association of Super Abilities). The Reaction Super Booster provides up to 20dBu of gain, while enhancing the tonal response of your guitar with your amplifier.
Introduction continued.....: chain. While it provides up to 20dB of boost, different amplifiers with different settings may sound better while implementing the Super Booster. You can use the Reaction Super Booster as a solo boost by inserting it last in your pedal chain. All you need then is a slight amount of gain (say +6dBu, which can be reached by setting the BOOST knob around the 9:00 o’clock position). At that point, when you want to go for a solo (clean or distortion) just use the Super Booster.
