Bravo Audio has been making some waves with their line of Tube powered line headphone amps as well as the Tube powered guitar Booster SHOWN HERE (please see my other posts for other Bravo Audio offerings). Bravo Audio gives you the warmth of a tube in a unique little package. This unit is not voiced for distortion output or even very colored Overdrive tones, but rather adds a second layer of volume and boost to your signal. Can be placed in effects loop or in front of the amp to conjure up some nice tones and harmonics. Very cool little box ! This is the new version of the original tube Booster that is still being offered, but Bravo has placed the Tube warmth inside a True Bypass stomp box, which now allows for for placement anywhere in your effects chain and add warm Tube driven Boost to your signal! Warms up Solid State amp signals as well as a great pre Boost for Tube driven amps! What it is: a very cool little unit that provides tube driven power and boost to your amp/ signal chain either in effects loop or as a pre-amp to effects chain or direct from amp-to Booster- to guitar. Supplied with it's own Power Adapter and ready to go right out of the box. Turning up the Gain will offer some Overdrive tones, but not voiced dramatically and not designed to replace your favorite OD, but rather enhance it.
C**K
clean tube boost
its a clean boost - very little grit - adds some character, but it IS subtle. If you want an over the top gain and or fuzz, look elsewhere, BUT it WILL drive your tubes in a tube amp to a nice bluesy sound. I like it, but it COULD have a bit more range...
