Zinky Offers New Clean Boost Pedal

In January, Zinky Electronics expects to begin shipping "Master Blaster," a clean boost device for guitar and bass. Master Blaster is designed for use with all styles of playing, has a versatile tone control, and can be plugged directly into a variety of amplifiers.

Master Blaster can add up to 9 dB of clean volume to an amp without coloring the tone in any way, according to the company. Master Blaster can also be set to add a treble "shimmer" to the tone, or conversely, to "warm up" an overly bright tone.

Master Blaster includes separate tone and volume controls, and a true bypass footswitch for on/off operation, all powered by a 9V battery or 9V power adaptor (included). The Master Blaster's electronics are housed in a brushed stainless steel case with graphics and a blue LED.

Master Blaster is made exclusively in the USA by Zinky Electronics. The suggested U.S. retail price (MSRP) for the Master Blaster is $109.95.
