BoogieMKIIA Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I pulled this out tonight to change the battery and use with my acoustic guitar. The 9V battery clip was damaged from the old batter, so another clip is on order. I new this was a new boost when I bought it years ago, seems one of the first ones out? Serial Number is 33-000010 and the instructions/manual are 8.5x11 copy machine preliminary. I doubt this is valuable, hoping that it still works. The caps are tantalum and ceramic, so may still be OK. If not, just a few components to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCChris Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I have one laying around here somewhere from back in the day when a MicroBoost or a Super Overdrive was my only effect on the floor. That was years before I discovered guitar nerd forums and jam band music and went down the rabbit hole of pedalboards and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubs_42 Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 That is a cool find with all the candy with it. Micro Amps are cool, the Micro Amp + is an awesome boost as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put a piece of cardboard to keep the PCB traces away from the switches and pots. Any suggestion for an alternate material? I was thinking the pink antistatic plastic maybe.

Rich_S Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I use sticky-backed rubber weather sealing foam in my DIY pedals, or sometimes sticky-backed felt. They are available in the “weather proofing and window-air-conditioner-installing section of your local hardware store. The downside is, you need an inch and it comes in 10-foot rolls.

Travis Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I had one of those years ago before I knew what it was or how to use it. I remember not liking what it did to the clean channel on my solid state 1x12” combo... what can I say, I was 16... wish I still had it around to try with a couple of decent tube amps...

I haven’t used it in years (obviously) and will use it as a lead boost for my acoustic into a LoudBox Mini. Hoping it sounds OK. Lyric pickup (a mic) in a Martin. I will also try it on electric again. For the Boogie MKIIA, it my help to get a couple more flavors of clean and dirty by running the first volume a little lower. Else, my try in the loop as a solo boost - it is not a normal level loop so I may need something to buffer it. Have a Glab SA-1, a C-lator and also found my TFX4 can drive the power amp section really well. Simpler is preferred. May use a 9V battery plug to the Powerall to keep from changing out batteries.

BoogieMKIIA Posted July 27, 2020 Author Share Posted July 27, 2020 Played out(side) several weeks ago acoustic. The Micro Amp did a great job boosting leads. Easier than twiddling the sound-hole pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
