The Time Machine
Boost is built with no compromises and with attention made
to every detail within its completely hand-crafted
design
that does away entirely with less-costly circuit
board-mounted jacks and pots. Housed in a custom designed heavy-duty steel
angled enclosure topped with beautiful aluminum knobs, the Time Machine
Boost's finish is as rugged as it's construction inside. Brand new "no
tools" battery access compartment makes the latest Time Machine Boost
better than ever.
Built in the same tradition of the greatest
amplifiers and electronic circuits of the past, the Time Machine Boost
uses only premium components, wire and
assembly techniques. From use of
premium silver solder and teflon wire, to a range of select metal-film
resistors and capacitors, Switch Craft jacks, and two premium 3DPT
switches for true bypass with multi-LED function, the Time Machine Boost
delivers all its sonic qualities in a rugged, low-noise design made for a
lifetime of musical use. The wiring methods and components used truly make
the Time Machine Boost look like a work of art inside.
Vintage Channel
The Vintage
channel is based on the best vintage boosters of the past, inspired by
classics such as the Dallas Rangemaster, but it is also
carefully designed for maximum tone, flexibility and ultra low-noise in
an updated circuit design.
Onboard Level and Intensity controls adjust the boost level as well as
the amount of the harmonics desired. The Vintage channel offers two modes
of operation selectable via its toggle switch. In the "1966"
mode, the Vintage channel is tuned to deliver the original booster tones
made famous in the '60s by artists as varied as Eric Clapton with the
Blues Breakers to the Beatles. Toggle into "1973" mode and the
Vintage channel provides a full-range boost with harmonics enhanced in
critical mids that was based on the custom-modified boosters used by artists
in the '70s. Think of artists such as Queen's Brian May with his fat,
full-bodied overdrive tone running through Vox AC30s, or Tony Iommi of
Black Sabbath, boosting the front end of his powerful Laney Amplifiers
with his Gibson SGs.
The Vintage Channel
uses a rare and select original New Old Stock (NOS) germanium transistor
to provide a truer vintage tone. Incorporating
this germanium transistor with the Vintage channel's finely tuned circuit
provides all the smooth musical vintage tones with ultra low-noise sure
to satisfy any tone connoisseur.
Modern Channel
The Modern
channel delivers all the clean-boost one could hope for, and a bit more!
Great for taking a blues player's mildly overdriven Fender tube amp over
the edge for searing sustain. Hard rock and metal players can boost the
front end of their Marshall amplifiers for a hot-rodded, powerful modern
distortion tone that still retains all the punch and smooth character
that made Marshall a household name in rock. And how about a Vox? Simply
stunning.
The Modern channel was designed specifically to
provide a fully-transparent boost that doesn't alter the natural tone
or FEEL of your guitar and amp. No lost bass response, no "flubby"
response and no bumped up mids. Newly added Warp Drive control allows
further gain for even more versatility. With over 23 dB's of pure CLEAN boost on-tap, the Modern
channel can provide a clean boost appropriate for any situation or musical
environment, from overdriving an amplifier's front end to serving as a
preamp to strengthen the signal of lower-output pickups. The "secret"
to many modern day players' tone is in their use of clean boosts to enhance
their sound and now you can have the best!
