Jim Dunlop M133 MXR Micro Amp Pedal, White

Product Information

This pedal allows you to gently roll out that woofiness without negating all the wonderful interaction between the guitar and the Deluxe’s preamp. So to summarise, having owned the pedal for 8 years, it is an excellent piece of gear for anyone wanting a boost.

Strangely, at the time, there weren’t that many alternatives to the Micro Amp other than from the Electro‑Harmonix Linear Power Booster (LPB). That said, the M-133 is a pretty flat sounding transistorized boost pedal, though it doesn't have the tubey sparkle of a ZVex SHO or any other jfet or mosfet based booster. It is a nice transparent push when you like more of your Class A amp without messing on volumes, or having an overdriven setup and cleaning the signal with the guitar pot. Hickies Limited is acting as a credit broker offering finance products from Omni Capital Retail Finance Limited. And that's just my 3 favorite guitars, they all have a voice and a use which is why MXR's whole marketing conception seems to defeat the point of switching guitars live.Not a tone of output on paper, but DCR is not the be-all-end-all of output and out-front-ness, because that guitar wants to rock hard and stand out with the vocal as something the audience (when there is one) wants, no. Those tapers make the controls less sensitive around the null areas and more so towards the ends of their travel so it is possible to easily center up the controls and have them virtually disappear from the signal. It felt just like plugging in directly and there didn't appear to be any strange frequency effects, either, as I rolled back my guitar’s volume control. If you're looking for a clean boost in sound for just a little extra oomph then this could be a pedal for you its sturdy and does the job, but coming from mxr that would be just selling them short on their good quality products, now is it the most amazing pedal well for me no but that is not for me to decide but for you to go out and try it for yourself. With its Gain knob, the Micro Amp+ allows you to dial up just as much gain as the original—up to +26dB—but with added EQ controls, you can now finely sculpt your boosted signal.

once unpacked i found a very high quality pedal, the case is made of thick metal, the dial is good quality as is the switch. Dirty sounds: You can use a clean boost to drive the front of an amp that is on the edge of distortion right off the cliff and can switch it in and out via footswitch. Credit is provided by a panel of lenders with whom we have a commercial relationship (so we cannot provide independent advice).It improves the frequencies from the amp, so the clarity obtained let you to low the volumen knob from your guitar without losing dynamics. 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. With a guitar, this lets you boost your signal for lead work, adjust between two different guitars with unmatched output (i.

After looking for a pedal to suit a beginner with literally no soldering experience and very little electronics knowledge I settled on this lovely Micro Amp kit! I haven't really used mine in a studio setting--seemed a little redundant to me, in my admittedly limited experience--so that's very useful information. There's plenty of gain to allow you to push a single-coil guitar's sound up to that point where it becomes phat and sustainy. its designed to boost your signal, but you can use it for way more than that, on large pedal boards, it helps keep your signal strength high.I use it more as an 'always on' pedal for tone enhancement at which it excels (as opposed to increasing gain for more preamp drive). You can also use it effectively on valve amps by plugging in to the effects loop for a very loud clean boost, or use it to push the front end harder for more volume and drive.
