The Mesa Boogie Tone-Burst is a versatile pedal designed to provide a virtually transparent gain range typically associated with devices in the Clean Boost category. It offers additional gain to boost the signal of a guitar to the threshold of clip and beyond. The pedal is suitable for helping single-note lines stand out in a dense mix or for adding edge and attitude to rhythm parts. The TONE BURST features separate tone controls for treble and bass regions, allowing users to color the boosted signal and further accentuate their parts. When the tone controls are set to 12:00, the instrument's signal remains virtually unchanged, providing a nearly transparent boost.
