Vemuram Budi G - Gritty Gain Boost Pedal

The Vemuram Budi-G takes the legacy of the original Budi boost and adds a new dimension: perfectly controlled gritty gain. Designed for players who want more than a transparent clean boost, the Budi-G introduces a subtle, amp-like breakup that enhances dynamics, adds harmonic richness, and pushes tube amps or drive pedals with exceptional musicality.

Featuring a wide gain range, high headroom, and a uniquely tuned “gritty gain” control, the Budi-G excels as both a first-in-chain tone enhancer and a stackable boost for tightening or energising overdrives. A 2-band EQ (Bass & Treble) offers flexible tone shaping, while the onboard Saturation (SAT) trim pot lets you fine-tune the pedal’s feel to your guitar and amp.

Built with Vemuram’s signature brass enclosure and premium 3-FET architecture, the Budi-G delivers bold, articulate tone with the organic breakup and touch sensitivity players expect from the brand.
