It will be interesting to see how the FT boost and Messenger sound together.

I’m curious to see how the Fliptop boost and archetype sound together

 

[mmbongo]

I’ve never been a huge fan of single knob boosts, but I like the sounds of this Fliptop boost. The urge to buy is strong, but I think I’m going to refrain.

Why is the picture of the Boost on the website so zoomed out? It looks tiny.

 

[JDLowEnd]

Sidejacks? What has the world come too! I know it's a tiny pedal.....

Tiny in stature.

Buy the last 5. There’s no limit. Stack all five and you’ll have a flippin epic boost

It's not on his website, only on his Instagram and Facebook pages. There are a few nice options to fit what you're after. Went for a 70W with KT88 version / NOS octal tube pre (you can choose a 12AX7 too) / and what i do feel is a super-nifty switchable Ultra Linear option (more clean output like Sunn amps or 'classic' tube poweramp saturation).

Already got a Sushi on order that's going to cost me dearly when the Mrs finds out, I'll have to wait to join the Broughton club until a few huge life things fall into place. Hopefully they will, sooner rather than later.

I don't even know what I'll do with a Fliptop boost. I already have a Fliptop. Did that stop me from buying one, though? Not a chance. Buy when in stock. Sleep on the couch later. This is the way.

Nice. Serves me right for ignoring FB for a year. What was the damage on that?

 

[JDLowEnd]

It was definitely hard to pass on this boost for sure, but I miss my cusack more louder, and will probably order another one of those.......

 

[shaggy45]

The last time I passed on a boost was the solarian. That was a mistake.

 

[shaggy45]

I’d like to see Josh do a version of the crazy tubes locomotive. Love that thing but the controls can be a pain in the arse with the way they affect your volume.

 

[HoochfromP]

@Lowendtech Worth asking Micah, but damage seems fair to me.

That's one reason why I grabbed one.

 

[MascisMan]

I grabbed one. It's so cute.

If it doesnt make me sound like Jaco Im never buying another Broughton.

 

[Turn Em Loose]

Just thinking out loud here but another pedal that strikes me as could use a gain and volume control. I mean what if I want that high compression and harmonics? If unity is at the beginning of the taper it's going to have to be pretty loud to get that compression. don't know if the rest of my signal chain can handle that kind of gain

I kind of agree. Guess I’ll find out.

But anyway, the Buy When In Stock rule trumps any logical gain staging observations.

This IS the way... restraint today = regret tomorrow.
