1966 Series Boost
Boost
Listing Description
The JHS 1966 Series Boost is a germanium treble boost effects pedal designed to emulate the character of classic 1960s booster circuits. This boost pedal uses hand-selected germanium transistors and high-grade carbon composition resistors, capturing the original vintage mid/high-frequency push that was used to drive British amplifiers into overdrive or distortion. The circuit operates with true bypass switching and features a vintage positive ground voltage. Power options include an internal battery snap or an isolated standard 9V pedal power supply (do not daisy-chain with typical negative ground pedals). The pedal is designed to be first in the effects signal chain due to its input impedance requirements. An added power supply filter capacitor and switch pop-reducing pull-down resistance help improve noise performance and switching.
**Features:**
- Germanium treble boost effects pedal based on classic 1966 circuit design
- Hand-selected germanium transistor and high-grade components
- True bypass switching for uncolored signal path
- Vintage positive ground circuit (requires isolated power supply)
- Internal battery snap and standard 9V DC input
- Added power filtering and anti-pop resistance for reduced noise
