Wren and Cuff Phat Phuk B
If that is your thought right now, I don't blame you. If you're a stompbox junkie you probably know that there is no shortage of signal boosters out there. So what makes the Phat Phuk Bass Booster different? Well, a few things:
- This booster is made specifically for the bass guitar. It was designed to accommodate tunings down to a five string's typical low B and can be used for even lower tunings.
- This booster was not made to be "transparent". It's not a JFET or MOSFET based booster. There are many fine boosters out there that are designed to be "transparent." If that's what you're after, the Phat Phuk may not be for you. A JFET is used in the Phat Phuk however, more on that below.
- The Phat Phuk is not a clone of any other pedal.
- The Phat Phuk is a JFET/germanium single circuit hybrid booster. There is a double booster I know of with two independent boosts, one being a germanium, one JFET based. It's actually a very fine pedal. Perhaps there is another single circuit JFET-germ booster out there, but I'm not aware of it.
- Pink Sparkle Paint with a solid pink base coat. Then a durable clear-pink sparkle top-coat. The base coat and top-coat give a deep gorgeous finish. You gotta be a confident man to have a pink pedal, or a girl who happens to like the color pink.
Here's what the Phat Phuk is: A germanium/JFET booster. A unique sounding pedal which adds a beautiful sheen to your bass' top end and a bit of grit to the overall tone. It's a fantastic pedal for situations where you want a lift in your overall level, during a chorus or bridge for example, with a bit of bawdy bump via the germanium transistor._One nice feature is also the more modern JFET transistor at the input which keeps the pedal impedance-friendly when it comes to active bass pickups. This helps the Phat Phuk to remain consistent whether you put a P-Bass in front of it, or a Warwick Thumb.
Give the Phat Phuk a try! It's beauty is in it's simplicity, but you'll be surprised how often it's on!
