hi
i have a Boost : this is the Marshall bluesbreakers

i want to know if the pickup booster has a warm tone because my boost is like that but it makes hum

too much hum

so, how is the pickup booster ?can we have sustain and feedback?

does it really transform the single coils in a strat to humbuckers ?

my boost can do that too
 
Re: Seymour duncan pickup booster

The Pickup Booster is a clean boost, so it doesn't really warm anything...the resonance switches work with single coil pickups to reduce some highs, but it isn't 'warm' like an overdrive pedal is. It is dead quiet, though (although if your guitar is noisy, it will boost that noise, too). The new Killing Floor boost pedal is warmer sounding.
 
Re: Seymour duncan pickup booster

The bluesbreaker is an overdrive pedal so it is very different to a clean boost.

false
not true
the bluesbreakers pedal has 2 functions: overdrive and a clean BOOST
it is a powerful boost
25 db ?

the 2d function is a real overdrive to sound like Clapton with his Bluesbreakers

The BBII doesn't get a lot of love. When pedal forum denizens talk about the Bluesbreaker, they mean this pedal:

The original Bluesbreaker is the basis for the Analogman King of Tone and many, many other pedals.
 
Re: Seymour duncan pickup booster

why do you say "http://www.seymourduncan.com/pedal/killing-floor"
The Killing Floor High Gain Boost is both a volume boost and a musical amp-like overdrive all in one.

and about the "pickup booster" can't it be like a boost and a musical amp-like overdrive all in one too ?
 
Re: Seymour duncan pickup booster

the pup booster is just a clean boost. even at full boost it doesnt distort at all itself. it can push the amp into overdrive though.

the bb2 is not the same as the bb as was stated before. i have no idea what the boost function of the bb2 sounds like

the killing floor (so it says, i havent seen one in the wild yet) is a boost but will itself distort at its upper ranges, more like an old germanium boost than a clean boost
