Both of these circuits operate in the ways of the classic vintage boosters of the past and every effort was
made to faithfully recreate those sweet vintage tones. In the Vintage channel, musical notes are amplified
more or less depending on their frequency. A note fretted higher on the instrument will be amplified more
and sound louder than a bass note. Every precaution has been taken to make sure the Time Machine
Boost’s Vintage modes are as noise-free as possible. The difference in noise levels can’t be fully
appreciated however unless one has tested an original treble-booster and played it side-by-side with the
Time Machine Boost!
Modern - A uniquely-tuned, very transparent clean boost that delivers high output with low noise that can
overdrive a tube amp into greater and more, harmonically-rich distortion, or serves as preamp to strengthen
the initial gain signal of a guitar's pickups. Modern is transparent and offers a LOT of clean boost
headroom. It’s secret is its use of two hand-selected JFETs that offer a very high input impedance of about
1 Mega ohm. Powering this pair of JFETs is a voltage doubling power supply that delivers 16 volts for
increased headroom. The Modern channel can deliver 12 volts peak to peak of output. A nominal guitar
signal is only about 0.1 to 0.2 volts. The Modern channel is uniquely designed to give you all of the
transparent gain your heart could ever wish for. It’s designed to give you YOUR tone, just MORE of it.
Whether you want to take a vintage Fender amp “over the top” to provide stinging rich blues, or beef up the
distortion of your Marshall for harder rock sounds, Modern is for the player that wants to maximize the
versatility of their gear without altering the inherent tone that they’ve strived so hard to obtain.
