Yes, thanks to its excellent signal-to-noise ratio, the Class A Boost can be placed anywhere in your pedal chain, whether before or after other effects.

Does the pedal work with line signals?

Yes, it is effective with both instrument signals and line-level signals, making it versatile for various setups.

Can it turn a crunch sound into aggressive distortion?

WARM AND COZY.

Class A Boost will fatten up and boost anything you feed it. A deceptively simple design uses discrete J-FET transistors in a single-ended “Class A” configuration to achieve the warmest possible tone. Class A Boost can deliver up to 20db of clean boost and remains effective with both instrument and line level signals. Superior signal to noise performance allows you to put the Class A Boost anywhere in your pedal chain. It can add punch and extra output to a classic overdrive sound and is able to push distortion pedals into extremely aggressive crunch land. Class A Boost is also ideal for hitting the front end of a tube amp to achieve an added layer of sweetness.

EXPLANATION OF CONTROLS

Level: Sets the overall output volume.

Class A Boost requires a negative tip, 9VDC power supply. Class A Boost does not take batteries.
