Origin Effects DCX Boost Tone Shaper & Drive Black Edition

Product Description

The Origin Effects DCX Boost Tone Shaper & Drive Black Edition is a guitar boost and overdrive pedal inspired by the iconic UA 610 recording preamp. It covers clean tonal enhancement, edge-of-breakup drive and almost fuzz-like saturation, bringing vintage console character to an electric guitar setup.

EQ and OD modes provide two approaches to shaping your sound. In EQ mode, Adaptive Circuitry keeps the top end flat when the pedal is clean, then gradually introduces treble roll-off as the signal overdrives. This response follows your picking dynamics and guitar volume changes. In OD mode, treble roll-off stays active regardless of signal level, while the three-position VOICE switch selects the amount of roll-off.

The L.F. and H.F. controls shape bass and treble at frequencies chosen for electric guitar, preserving low-end clarity without overemphasising harsh upper harmonics. Use the DCX Boost to balance different guitars, refine a clean boost or add more pronounced drive. It suits players who want subtle tone shaping and expressive saturation from the same pedal rather than a single fixed overdrive voice.

Designed and built in England with premium components, the DCX Boost features a 1MΩ input impedance and high-quality buffered bypass. It requires a regulated 9V DC, 2.1mm centre-negative power supply with sufficient capacity for its 90mA current draw. The adaptor is not included, and battery operation is not supported.
