The XTS Shapecharger is a versatile boost pedal featuring a discrete transistor circuit with two independent FET boost sections. One section delivers transparent, full-bodied gain, while the other offers focused mid-range control, providing a warm, tube-like quality that enhances the natural character of your guitar.
The primary gain circuit serves as a clean boost that can also break up nicely when pushed. The RANGE control allows you to shape the low end, reducing bass frequencies for a tighter sound, while higher settings produce treble-boosted tones. The secondary gain circuit features a sweepable mid-boost, enabling you to emphasize low or high mid frequencies for added fullness or clarity, with extreme settings offering unique cocked-wah tones.
Additionally, the S.M.R.T. Switch allows you to toggle the primary gain circuit on and off independently, making it easy to add the mid-boost for solos or extra gain, effectively giving you two pedals in one compact design.
