Radial Elevator Specifications 

GUITAR BOOSTER AND LINE DRIVER

1.  9VDC POWER: Connection for 9 volt (center negative) power adapter. 

Includes a cable clamp to prevent accidental power disconnection.

2.  OUTPUT: High-Z ¼” connection to your amplifier.
3.  INPUT: High-Z ¼” connection from your instrument. 
4.  BASELINE SELECTOR: Three position switch sets the way the Elevator 

handles your instrument signal when the power booster is not in use.

• TRUE-BYPASS: Takes the Elevator completely out of the signal path.

• BUFFER: Uses a unity gain buffer to drive long cables without added 

noise or signal loss. Also activates the DRAG™ control.

• DRIVE PRESET: Lets you preset a baseline amount of gain.

5.  DRAG: Load Correction circuit lets you replicate the tone and feel as if 

connected directly to your amp.  

6.  DRIVE: Lets you dial-in a little extra punch and push your amp harder. 
7.  FOOTSWITCH: Activates  the  power  BOOSTER. An  LED  indicator 

illuminates when the BOOSTER is active.

8.  GAIN: Controls the amount of boost applied when the BOOST footswitch 

is active. Adds up to 15dB of clean gain. 

9.  MID  BOOST: Three  position  switch  lets  you  add  extra  mid-range  for 

greater sustain and stage presence. 

• Position 1:  OFF: No mid-range boost is applied.

• Position 2:  5dB: Applies a small amount of mid-range boost.

• Position 3:  10dB: Applies a big mid-range boost.

10. STEEL ENCLOSURE: Heavy-duty 14-gauge steel enclosure for long life.
