congratulations, and thank you
for your purchase of the Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster. This
pedal is the only effects pedal designed specifically to work together with the pickups in your
instrument to achieve optimum gain and resonance for all types of tone applications.
The new Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster is a re-issue of our original pedal, but with a few key
upgrades. The pedal retains the all discrete, class A, low-noise circuit design but the Gain control
now can be turned down to unity (0dB). Also, we added a discrete push-pull output stage that
increases the drive capability. So even if you have the Gain knob down at 0dB, your signal chain
will sound cleaner overall by compensating for the dulling tonal effect of long cable lengths. This
low impedance output stage is capable of driving very long cable runs.

- This is the Pickup Booster’s primary control. By rotating it fully counter-clockwise, the
pedal acts as an ultra clean, transparent buffer at unity gain (0dB). Rotating the Gain knob fully
clockwise provides 25dB of clean boost. This range of Gain control provides the flexibility to boost
the signal in a long or “saggy” effects chain, drive long cable runs back to the amp, push the front-
end of a tube amp a little harder for more saturation, instantly punch up the level for solos, or
balance the output between guitars or even between different pickups on the same guitar!
