Analogman Bad Bob Booster

USED PEDAL.  PEDAL DOES NOT HAS VELCRO

-----------

In 2010 Analog Man started to build these ourselves after taking them over from Robbie. See Buyanalogman.com for more info on our versions, exactly the same circuit as Robbie designed and built, using the same FET testing and sorting procedures.

The Bad Bob pedal is one of the best boost pedals available. It's a booster based on the famous and much copied mini-booster "JFET mu-amp" design of Jack Orman (check out his site to learn more). This design was also used as the basis for most other boutique boost pedals. We use NOS Fairchild 2N5457 FETs, and only a small percentage of even these original parts have the correct specs, as FET manufacturing is not very precise. There are no good FETs being made anymore, except some tiny Surface Mount Technology (SMT) parts designed for automated machine manufacturing.

Bad Bob is a class A booster that is capable of driving your favorite tube amp into tonal nirvana! With well over 20dB of gain, the Bad Bob fattens up even the cleanest high powered tube amp.

Do you use a lower wattage amp already on the verge of breaking up? The Bad Bob pushes it over the edge to obtain rich sustain.

Do you like a vintage or modern 30 Watt Class A tube amp cranked to the hilt? If so you will love the Bad Bob...

Here are some of the features:  

• Cast aluminum enclosure with baked-on silver powdercoated finish.

• True bypass switching with special wiring to minimize external noise.

• LED indicator.

• 2.1mm DC power jack for use with most standard regulated 9VDC adaptors (Boss PSA-120 or Voodoo Labs PP2 recommended).

• Low power consumption! Under 1mA when off, under 3mA when on, no IC chips, so battery will last a LONG time.

• Capable of running at up to 18VDC for a cleaner, punchier tone with more headroom!!

• Awesome after fuzz pedals to add more focus and cut

• Awesome after tube screamer type pedals, brings some low end back.

• Metal Film resistors and coupling capacitors for optimum tone.
