From the vendor

Project overview:

This Samurai Sword is a clean boost pedal that is an essential item for your rig. Keep it on all the time to hit your tube amp harder, or kick it in just when you need to cut through the mix.

A sharp tool like this can hit your amps with just the right level and is indispensable for achieving the perfect guitar tone.

Introduction

Samurai Sword was crafted with one thing in mind: be the most reliable Clean Boost on the market. And let me tell you, it nails it.

But that´s not the only trick this versatile tool has to offer: the volume knob allows you to create a louder mirror image of your tone by simply rolling it forward! And wait, there is more because this Samurai Sword is also a fat, harmonically rich boost: flip up the switch and push the limits with overdriven tones! You can keep it on all the time to test your amp harder or as an occasional boost to cut sharper through the mix.

Incredibly versatile, astonishingly functional, and with the most beautiful enclosure (but hey, that last thing is up to you!).
