Mu-FX Boostron 3

Boostron 3





Based Upon a Trio of Classic Designs
The NEW Mu-FX Boostron 3 is three pedals in one… and three you might never want to turn off!

Stage 1: Based upon an Alembic Stratoblaster clean boost
Stage 2: Based upon a Musitronics/Dan Armstrong Orange Squeezer compressor
Stage 3: Based upon a Pro Co RAT distortion

Check out sound clips at the bottom of this page!
The Alembic Stratoblaster is a FET preamp that provides a clean boost. The original product was a retrofit guitar input jack with the (battery powered) effect built in – controlled by an on/off switch and a small adjustable trim pot for the desired amount of gain. The Musitronics/Dan Armstrong Orange Squeezer is a very simple and distinctive sounding compressor. The original product was a small cube that plugged directly into your guitar (…unless you had a Strat!), powered by a 9V battery and was controlled by an on/off switch as well as an internal trim pot for setting the desired output level. The Pro Co RAT is an LM308 op-amp distortion that ranges from bluesy overdrive to full-out fuzzy distortion. The original product was a moderately sized effects pedal powered by a 9V battery.
The Mu-FX Boostron 3 provides added functionality to these classic effects all bundled in our “mini-mu” housing. Made in the USA, this new Mu-FX product combines visual and sonic cues from the past with a thoroughly modern, pedal board oriented approach.

Controls:

BLASTER

Boost controls the output level of the effect
Blaster On/True-Bypass switch determines whether the effect is on or off (true-bypassed)
LED indicates volume by brightness
Bright controls the amount of treble boost


SQUEEZER

Juice controls the input level to compressor (the amount of “squash” to the signal)
Output controls the output level of the compressed signal


SLACKER

Gain controls the amount of gain in the distortion circuit
Bass Flat/-/+ Switch

Flat position is the normal tonality of distortion circuit
– position cuts bass frequencies from the distortion circuit
+ position boosts bass frequencies to the distortion circuit


Level controls the output level of the distorted signal
Comp/Exp/Dist Mode Switch

Comp – 2 diode symmetrical distortion (a “limiting” distortion)
Exp – Single diode asymmetrical distortion (provides more headroom for dynamics)
Dist – LED + Single diode distortion




SQUEEZER footswitch determines whether the effect is on or off (true-bypassed)

LED

Red – Off
Blue – On




SLACKER footswitch determines whether the effect is on or off (true-bypassed)

LED
