The dominant feature of this pedal is that you can choose from a Germanium boost, an LPB, a Mosfet clean boost, or a BiFet amp. Each of these circuits are independant from one another. These are not "facimiles" or models of the real things....they are the real things.
You can use these various boosts in their pure form for maximum transparency, or you can use the EQ routing switches to color and shape your tone in an almost limitless way.

The On/Off switch engages the EQ routing. The Pre/Post switch lets you put the EQ either first or last in the chain for even more tonal control. And the Tone/3Band switch lets you choose from a fullrange tone knob with a bit of midscoop action for those of you who like to dial in a lead boost that can cut through the mix, or place the Bifet in series with the other boosts for a 3-band EQ.
If you turn down the gain knob on the BiFet when in series, it is extremely transparent and allows the natural charateristics of the other 3 boosts to shine through. Turning it up creates an amazingly warm overdrive when in series with the Mosfet and LPB and a unique Fuzz with the Germanium boost.

The QuattroBooster can run off a single 9v battery or 9v AC power source. The BiFet functions great at only 9V, but at 18v it will realize it's maximum potential for more than 20dB of boost. The 9v/18v switch on the back engages a voltage divide. When an 18v AC power source is used it will still send 18v to the BiFet and 9v to the other circuits.
