The Beano Boost is known for its ability to provide a treble and gain boost to dark British amps, exciting certain frequencies, and pushing the amp to create rich tube distortion. It is designed to work well with various guitar and amp setups, providing a raw, open sound without a lot of compression and sustain like most overdrive pedals.

The pedal is hand-made in the USA and is based on the 1960s British Dallas Rangemaster, known for its use by iconic guitarists such as Eric Clapton, Brian May, Tony Iommi, and others. The Beano Boost uses a carefully selected NOS Germanium transistor to achieve its characteristic tone.

Additionally, the Beano Boost is designed to work best near the beginning of the signal chain and should be placed before other drive/dirt pedals to wake them up and keep noise low. It is also noted that using a buffered pedal in front of the Beano Boost can affect its sound negatively.

The Beano Boost is available in a standard size and a mini size, with the mini version lacking a battery option and ON/OFF volume pot. The pedal is also known to work well with the Analog Man SUNFACE fuzz pedal.
