Friedman Buxom Boost — Clean Boost Pedal with Active EQ and Tight Control

The Friedman Buxom Boost is a clean boost pedal that pushes a pure signal into the front end of any tube amplifier. Inspired by the Friedman Buxom Betty amp head, this pedal delivers the clean character of Dave Friedman's amp designs, with an EQ Bypass switch for transparent or tone-shaped operation. The Buxom Boost is the right choice for guitarists who need a clean boost that can also tighten up loose low end on demand.

What sets the Buxom Boost apart from a standard clean boost

Unlike standard clean boosts with a single volume knob, this pedal layers in an active 3-band EQ and a dedicated Tight control. Addressing low-end buildup when slammed into a cranked tube amp, the Tight knob turns flubby clean tones into focused rock voices. The EQ Bypass switch removes the tone stack for a completely transparent signal path.

Signal path and connectivity for pedalboard integration

Standard 6.3 mm TS jacks make this pedal compatible with any guitar or bass pedalboard. True bypass switching preserves the original signal when disengaged.

• Type: Clean boost pedal — volume and gain-stage enhancement
• Inputs: 6.3 mm TS jack — standard instrument-level input
• Outputs: 6.3 mm TS jack — standard instrument-level output
• True bypass switching preserves the dry signal integrity

Active 3-band EQ and Tight control for tone sculpting

The active 3-band EQ features boost bass and mid controls alongside a boost/cut treble control with center detent. Taming low-end buildup when pushing a tube amp into saturation, the Tight control is the pedal's signature feature.

• Bass Control: Active boost — adds low-end weight
• Mid Control: Active boost — pushes midrange for solos
• Treble Control: Active boost/cut with center detent — shapes top-end
• Tight control — tames low-end buildup when amp is pushed

Power options and build quality

The Buxom Boost accepts 9V or 18V power, with 18V adding headroom. Built in the USA with quality analog components, the circuit stays quiet for acoustic-electric instruments.
