Clean sound with a fat character

When the clean tone of the amplifier lacks a bit of body, the PD-01 can provide improvement with very moderate settings. The GAIN setting is the key. When set to a point where distortion is barely noticeable, the sound will have more body and punch. Unlike with conventional overdrive effects, you can create a sharp, fat sound.

Booster sample 1: clean & crunch

This is a special way to use the PD-01. Set GAIN to zero and raise the level to get great booster performance. Set the amplifier to clean tone for backing, and then set the PD-01 to ON to obtain a natural crunch sound produced by the amplifier in conjunction with the PD-01.

Booster sample 2: drive & distortion

Set up the amplifier to create a drive sound for backing, and activate the PD-01 for playing solos. The PD-01 is great for this technique, which is often used with large stack amps in the British style. Thanks to the booster function, you'll get incredibly distinct distortion sound.
