RS Guitarworks reintroduces Burts Boost. Only 12 will be made. (no affiliation)

[Saul Goodman]

A decade ago, we retired the Burst Boost. You've been asking for it ever since.

To celebrate RS Guitarworks' 30th Anniversary, we're bringing it back...but only for twelve lucky players. Inspired by that Les Paul (you know the one…), the PG Burst Boost is the rarest pedal we've ever made.

Built like an instrument, not just a pedal.

Each one is hand-wired and housed in a fully-shielded mahogany enclosure with a bound flamed maple top. Nitro-finished. Hand-aged. These aren't just pedals...they're heirlooms.

Your secret weapon for tone.

The Burst Boost delivers rich, full-bodied warmth that players swear by as their "always-on" pedal. Run it at unity for sweetening, or crank it to push your favorite tube amp!

Only 12 will ever be made.

Once they're gone, they're gone. Probably for another decade. Maybe forever.

Don't wait on this one. $495

$495 for a one trick pony seems steep. Anyone have an old one and can comment? It does look cool.

Lot of $ for a gain pedal.

I literally thought this was satire when I first read it. This is a real product?

Well, 12 of them are real.

RSGW is close to me & they make great products. The 12 in ? will sell out, I'm sure. 😀

Based on the thread title I thot we’s talkin’ a Burt’s Bees boost. 

[neastguy]

just get a spark mini and save yourself $430

 A buddy of mine who gigs a lot just added this to his board and loves it.  I'm guessing it's a similar pedal, just no flamed maple.

But, the flamed maple is where it’s at…

They are Sold out. And, no, I didn't get one. But, I did order another RS guitar from them - teehee.

Thinking this:

...does the same. Currently 'always on' on my board. It really does thicken things up.

 

[velorush]

^^Those are absolutely fabulous^^

Magical, even... as you said, "always on"

I prolly need to pick another up as I sold mine when I went through my 'gear divestiture madness' (GDM).
