CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS: One of the most rewarding elements of bringing out the Time Machine Boost has been hearing all of the wonderful feedback from pro players as well as other musicians from around the world!

"WOW!! What can I say? Hooked up the TMB yesterday, and played with the tones a little. I wasn't going to leave it in the rig, because I threw a set of new pickups and a new chorus at Brad yesterday, and I didn't want to overwhelm him. Well, he came in early, saw the pedal and wanted to leave it in... I was amazed at the Modern setting, pure boost and no coloring...

"Well, I look out during the first few songs and he's got it on (Modern setting)... Sounded wonderful!!  He ended up using it on 'Back in the Saddle', 'Same Old Song and Dance', 'Last Child', and 'Jaded' (probably more). We talked after the show and he was very impressed, we hope to explore the Vintage side in upcoming shows. I would really like to hear it with a Strat..." - Greg Howard, Guitar Technician for Brad Whitford (Unit #11)of Aerosmith

"WOW! Everything you claimed the TMB could do, it does.   The versatility of this unit is incredible; the quality of workmanship is incredible. For someone who really is not a pedal guy and more of a purist, this is the ULTIMATE pedal for me. Thank you!" - Reza R. (Pawtucket, RI), Unit #29

"This pedal has a ton of output, but is surprisingly quiet. It was able to push my Marshalls over the edge, in a beautiful way. I even tried it with my little SF Champ, and it had that sucker screaming for mercy!!" - Michael O. (Madison, WI), Unit #8

"Very low noise and very sensitive to picking attacks!!! When I selected the 1973 mode, I could get the '70s Leslie West sound!!!!! In 1966 mode, I could get the '60s Eric Clapton sound!!! Very sweet & thick but not muddy at all. Modern mode is more transparent and clearer than I expected. I think that your TMB will probably be very welcome to many Japanese guitarists!" - Tsunehisa H. (Japan), Unit #15

"For my small amp the 'Modern Boost' setting is killer. Although I like the other two settings also, I'm busy groovin' with the Modern setting. With the modern setting I'm able to get that killer Super Bass clean round tone. BTW, I'm using a Les Paul but can just imagine that a Strat would be killer also." - Michael W. (Vallejo, CA), Unit #1

"I just wanted to let you know that I received the Time Machine Boost on Saturday and used it gigging last night. I would like to congratulate you on making a boost pedal that is a gem to have playing live. I play a 1991 California Series Fat Tele and a Gibson Les Paul Studio (with P-94 pickups installed) thru a 1990 Marshall Bluesbreaker Combo (with a custom Pine cabinet I had made for it). This pedal was all that I needed all night!! It makes the volume control so useful for rhythm and then lead parts. It kind of reminds me of a Rangemaster/Diaz Texas Ranger but even better. Going from "9" to "10" on the guitar volume pot gives you logarithmic increases in gain that works like a charm in the live setting and meshes so well with the amp's clipped tone. I think now I have one of the best rigs I have ever had (and I have had a lot!) while keeping it so simple. Really vintage tone! Anyway, thanks for your prompt service........I am certain this boost pedal will become a prized component of many more guitarist's setups in the future."- J. Sean W.(Texarkana, TX), Unit #42

"You guys have really put a lot into this project and this detail shows. The Time Machine Boost has become a regular on my pedal board it has bumped off the (competitive product name withheld!) and I am very happy with the tone. It has a clarity no other transistor boost I have used has, the intensity knob is so useful it makes the unit really versatile compared to any boost I own. 

"I have had many fellow session guys ask about it, and it is intriguing many. well Dave  there is my take on it i must be honest and say... I did not expect to take to the TMB so quick. It is that good!" - Greg Lockhart, Session Guitarist, with Delbert McClinton among others, Unit #2GL 

"I've had my TMB for about a week and feel I can now share some thoughts. Initially, my main reason for ordering the TMB was to get a good, transparent boost to use live - the other channels were going to be icing on the cake if they turned out to be good.

"I could not be happier! I definitely got the transparent boost I was hoping for from the Modern channel. Plenty of available boost in there as well. But what I wasn't expecting was to truly dig that 1973 Vintage channel! I would buy this pedal based on the 1973 channel alone.

"The 1973 channel gives my high solo notes more meat while at the same time tightening up my low notes and giving them more definition - all while maintaining a nice upper-mid presence. It made the neck humbucker on my goldtop a lead monster - great cut with no flubb yet still sounded like a neck 'bucker. - Brady W. (Starkville, MS), Unit #16

 

"I tried mine through my Plexi 50w & '68 412 w/ a Strat and ES335 as well as 2 different '63 AC30s. I was very impressed by the fact that this thing does NOT force a tone but reacts differently with each change between guitars or amps. The TMB is a first rate pedal and acts like it was made for the guitar you're using it with."  - Nick C. (Clearwater, Florida), Unit #21

"I've been playing around with the TMB. It's freaking amazing! I've grown particularly fond of the modern channel...I'll be using it on my future recordings for sure. I just wanted to write and tell you congratulations. This pedal is going to set a new precedence for boost pedals." - Dave Weiner, solo artist and guitarist for the Steve Vai Band.

"Just received your Time Machine Boost. WOW....I would like to thank you and congratulate you on a wonderfully rich, toneful pedal. I usually hate everything I stick on my pedal board and they usually grow on me. This pedal has earned its place instantly." - Andrew B. (Palm Springs, CA) Unit #59

"A quick email to wish you a very happy new year and to tell you now that I received the Time Machine Boost and I find it absolutely amazing. It gives my guitar a superb sound. I use a Strat (with Lindy Fralin pickups) and a Fender Blues Jr. amp (with sometimes a TS9). It seems the TMB was made for the two of them; really amazing; couldn't stop playing for hours when I turned on my amp. I really love it." - Benoit T. (Paris, France), Unit #69

"I wanted you to know that we played out New Year's Eve and used the booster in a live setting. This thing is wonderful for our blues/rock songs!!!!! So much better for solo tone on this music than the high gain lead channel of my amp." - Tim W. (Lafayette, IN), Unit #75

"Can I just say; this pedal should be illegal - it's like a secret weapon or something!

"Seriously, I just finished trying it out and I don't think my tone has ever been this good. I expected to like the '73 boost, but the real surprise for me was the '66 tone - pure Bluesbreakers - or rather Rory Gallagher since I'm using a strat into a bassman. It perfectly balances the tone on my strat, which had a bassy quality, and really lets the high notes sing and sustain perfectly. It's amazing how the notes at the top of the neck sound ouder, and totally cures that classic strat "weak E-string" problem. In fact my fingers hurt now from bending that top E so much; it sings so beautifully through that treble boost it's a real pleasure to play.

"This pedal is superb, even better than I thought it could be, I can't even remember what my guitar sounded like before - this is now "my" tone and no going back."-Malcolm B.(London, U.K.), Unit #95

"I received my Time machine boost last week, (TMB#150). I used a brown faced Fender Showman w / 1-12 JBL and a Mesa-Boogie Rectifier w 2-12 V-30's to get a taste for big clean and modern O.D.I played with my 64 Strat, PRS McCarty and G&L ASAT Classic with Lindy Fralin's...

"Oh my! The change from before and after was comparative to having a BBE Sonic Maximizer turned on a PA for the first time... In other words, I couldn't turn it off!

"The vintage channel is so amazing, the clarity of chords is so greatly improved in all modes that when my band played, I never left my clean channel of the Rectifier all night.

"I use two OD pedals which I placed in front of the TMB, a Sparkle Drive and a Tube Blower. Single notes sang like a violin, chords attack and bloom beautifully and in all modes, clean, pushed with overdrive or in between, my rig never sounded so amazing. In fact, If I hadn't removed my finger from single note, they could have sustained forever. Yet, I had total control at my finger tips. My drummer actually asked me to turn it up!

"My 64 Strat combined with the modern channel is a thing of beauty and the combination is stunning. I can't thank you enough for creating such a powerful and musical tool.

"With tone like this, price is not an issue. The TMB is worth every cent. For those who read this, don't waist your time and money searching elsewhere. The TMB is the best tonal investment I've made since I began playing 24 years ago. TONE!" -Todd D. S., (Southern CA.), Unit #150
