Blaster - Alembic Stratoblaster

Clone of the vintage Alembic StratoBlaster boost.

Board-mounted pot for minimal wiring and easy enclosure mounting.

Opinion around the FuzzDog listening lab is that this gives a punchy presence rather than just a straight boost, and slightly accentuates the midrange. Could just be aural hallucinations...

Board-mounted pot for minimal wiring and easy enclosure mounting.

My favorite clean boost 5 product stars
"Love this boost. It can be crystal clean for a nice chimey strat single coil glassy shine. It also working AMAZING after a fuzz or distortion OD whatever, it fattens it up and turns it into a screaming monster. Better than most JFET boosts I ve used!" Adrian Amador - 22 September 2022
Blaster kit for Model 1 copy 5 product stars
"I bought this kit to fit in a model 1 copy I was building after reading that Buckingham had a Stratoblaster fitted to his strat by Rick Turner during the recording of 'Rumours'He actually used on all the main lead solos. Unlike the Clapton boost being able to turn off is great as you can still get nice passive sounds. The boost is punchy and great, although best to a valve amp. I've added a gretch style EQ to the active mode which works well with the blaster. Here's a clip of me using it. https://youtu.be/M_YB_zpdc2Q" Tom Clements - 30 December 2019
