Tsakalis Audioworks Molecular Boost
Boost, Preamp, Buffer, Volume Pedal The Molecular Boost is a small but powerful and versatile stomp box. It can be used as a buffer, a booster, a pre-amp or a volume pedal and it can be placed anywhere in your rig. An internal voltage doubler ensures that the Molecular boost can handle any signal level, leaving the quality of your tone intact. A dual high speed FET op-amp is responsible for matching the impedance of most pickups and piezos and for accurately preserving the character of any instrument plugged into it, while driving even the longest cables without any signal loss. Enjoy a generous amount of boost from 0dB. to +18 dB by adjusting the easily accessible external knob. Use the four external dip switches on the left side of the Molecular to dive into some serious tone shaping and to access extra features such as the boosted frequency range (highs or mids), a high cut filter, and the XP input. Also, an internal switch allows selecting between True bypass and Buffered bypass modes, so that you experience zero signal loss even when the pedal is bypassed (buffered bypass mode). There is more! Connect any volume or expression pedal to the XP input to control the overall volume of the boosted signal when the pedal is engaged, or the unity level when the pedal is disengaged and in buffered bypass mode.

Our daily endeavor is to bring the sound that lives in our head to life.
For us, building pedals means to inspire musicians who inspire us.
It feels like yesterday when founder Chris Tsakalis was looking for feedback on his new custom built – tube driven overdrive, from players who he repaired gear for in Athens. That first attempt, that grew up to become the “Gravity Spot”, was the spark needed to gather the attention of the local musical society.
A few years later, and with a wide range of effects to share with the world, came our first international trade show in Frankfurt followed by the NAMM show.
We believe in the process of hand building and we plan to keep it that way. We believe in simple and easy to use pedals which provide the player with many different options without getting in his/her way. We believe in quality components. We believe in research. We believe in interaction. We believe in music.
This is not a job for us nor will it ever be. We live and breathe tone.
