Quiet Boost

If you love a Super Hard-On™ but think the crackle is not ok, look no further.

Despite the name, this babe is anything but quiet. It'll knock your speaker out given half a chance. All the oomph of the SHO but with no biasing crackle from the FET. Sweet!

Push your amp into submission.

Note: The level on this effect goes from just above unity up to outrageous - there is no turning it down below unity.

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

Kit is available with a standard sized 1590B enclosure with battery, or a mini 1590A (36 x 90mm) enclosure with DC power only, though be aware that you'll be wiring in a very confined space.

If you want the PCB without parts there's a link for that at the bottom of the page.

Partial kit: PCB, all board-mounted components, pots.

Full kit: As above, plus footswitch and appropriate daughterboard/components for your selected bypass type (see Downloads section for details of those), jack sockets, DC socket, battery snap, hook-up wire, LED.

Enclosure (pre-drilled) is available as an option with full kits, and can take a battery if desired with footswitch positioned 22mm higher, closer to the controls, in a 1590B. 1590A will not take a battery. Knobs are not included.

Builds are only available with full kits including enclosure. Please choose appropriate knobs.

What a BEAST!
"This booster is awesome. Just awesome. Transparent, and incredibly loud. It's my main booster now, and it works before and after distortion/fuzzes. Try it, you won't regret it!" Damian - 29 November 2019

Just like the title says - "Quiet Boost"
"VERY quiet. I built the Boner Boost last month, and I like this one better. It gets a little more crunchier when u max it out (going into an 18 watt Hawkins marshall clone, single channel amp with volume, tone and gain: that's it). Which, for a mug like me, works perfectly. Buy this boost, it will NOT disappoint you!!!" damnedcat777 - 15 April 2017

Very good boost
"Was my first ever build, very easy, worked first time. Fantastic boost especially compared to some which are almost triple the price. Very fast delivery, all parts included were there. I ordered the drilled enclosure too which was perfect." Hav - 29 May 2014

Very loud indeed
"I own a BYOC Triboost, and this Quiet Boost is louder than all of them. Simple build, very compact, unity gain on minimum setting which I didn't expect. Very transparent, a bit noisy towards the end but it's just amplifying all the crap of my setup, plus if you need THAT much of a boost you're doing something wrong. I was so tempted to put this in my guitar. It would be quite a secret weapon." Alan - 04 May 2014
