Pickup booster mini?

Hi, I've been interested in the seymour duncan pickup booster pedal. It's exactly what I want to do to my sound. While shopping around, I noticed someone on ebay selling a selling a seymour duncan pickup booster but in extremely small form, made for installing into the guitar. This would be perfect for me, but I've never heard of this and have searched around on seymourduncan.com and didn't see it. Is this a real seymour duncan pickup booster in mini form or a fake? Is it as good as the regular pedal? Why does it have a jack included with it? Thanks for the help, this is the auction:

There's quite a few of us that have them, and love them. Just do a forum search for SFX-01, and you'll get a bunch of hits.

It has a nice, clean, noiseless boost, and the resonance switch is fun to play with also.

Funny . . . I didn't actually look at your link before. It is GuitarElectronics that's selling that on eBay. :laugh2:

So do you think this thing is just as good as the regular pickup booster? Is GuitarElectronics a reputable company or what?
 
Re: Pickup booster mini?

GuitarElectronics is a very reputable company. I just bought some parts from them a few weeks ago. They apparently have an exclusive deal with SD to sell that unit. Its the exact same thing thats in the SFX-01.
 
Re: Pickup booster mini?

yea guitar electronics is great to deal with and my favorite to buy from
 
Re: Pickup booster mini?

if this is legit, i will SO need a project guitar :D

this is exactly what i've wanted since i heard of the product ... i'd want to wire it in such a way so that it would come 'on' (to its current setting) when selected simply by moving into pos 3 of a 5 way ...

very cool

Re: Pickup booster mini?

Yup . . . I want to do the same thing. I would just switch mine in and out differently. ;)
 
Re: Pickup booster mini?

I just noticed something funny relative to . . . "is GuitarElectronics reputable?"

Seymour, himself, is going to be there to meet customers next Saturday.

I guess thats a pretty good endorsement. :laugh2:

So have you tried the mini pup booster yet? Can anyone compare this version to the stompbox sfx-01 version? I know they are supposedly the same, just want to hear you opine!
 
Re: Pickup booster mini?

Those are real. Jackson oses them as the "firestorm switch" on some models, and I´ve heard they´re every bit as good as the pedal, sans the resonance switch.

I´ll probably get one sooner than I expect, I´m starting to like bashing a gain circuit totally senseless thanks to Phoenix ;)
 
Re: Pickup booster mini?

Buy a pickup booster, take it apart, figure out how to get it into your guitar :D

Probably won´t be cheaper, and other than reverse engineering the circuit it´s more or less the only option ;)
