From the vendor
The Beauty Booster was released as a free PCB during the Christmas season of 2013, but we ended up with a few extra copies which we released in early 2014. When these are gone, they’re gone! So get yours now if you like limited release pedals or gave away your first copy!
This effect is a really simple device that both provides an adequate low-impedance buffer, which is awesome for a guitar pedal, and a switchable boost. What’s remarkable about this booster is that, unlike some other boosts, this one starts at unity with the knob all the way off, and only gets louder – your signal never gets quieter than it is with the boost off. If you’re looking for a buffer, try this one out because you’ll also get a boost in the process!
