Heather Brown Electronicals Clean Break Volume Boost and EQ Pedal - Black

The Heather Brown Electronicals Clean Break pedal is a precision-engineered boost designed to enhance your tone with clarity, control and musicality. More than a simple volume increase, Clean Break gives players the ability to shape gain structure and frequency response in real time through a responsive, full-spectrum analog circuit. Whether you're pushing an amp into natural overdrive, tightening low end or adding articulation to complex chord work, this clean boost pedal delivers dynamic response and detailed tonal control without masking the character of your rig. With an active Baxandall EQ, selectable Bright and Warm voicings, wideband gain capabilities and up to +25dB of available gain, Clean Break provides flexible tone shaping for players who want more than a transparent boost.

Active Baxandall EQ for Precise Tone Shaping

At the core of the pedal is a fully active Baxandall-style EQ, offering independent bass and treble controls for detailed tone sculpting. This design allows you to boost or cut frequencies with smooth, symmetrical response, making it easy to tighten low end, enhance clarity or balance your sound within a dense mix. Unlike traditional guitar boost pedals that simply increase output, the EQ section interacts directly with the gain structure, allowing players to shape how frequencies respond as volume increases. The result is a more controlled and expressive relationship between the pedal, your amp and your playing dynamics.

Wideband Gain With Responsive Analog Feel

As output increases, Clean Break transitions naturally into wideband gain driven by the op-amp’s feedback network for a more dynamic and touch-sensitive response. With up to +15dB of clean boost and as much as +25dB of maximum gain available, it can function as a transparent front-end enhancer, an amp-pushing solo boost or a more aggressive gain-shaping tool depending on your setup. Rather than overwhelming your signal, the circuit preserves articulation and note definition while adding body, presence and harmonic energy across the frequency spectrum.

Flexible Voicing and Professional Switching Options

A Bright/Warm toggle switch expands the pedal’s tonal range, allowing players to move between a thicker traditional response and a more articulate voice with enhanced top-end clarity. Selectable true or buffered bypass modes make the pedal easy to integrate into a variety of pedalboard configurations, while silent soft-touch switching helps eliminate unwanted mechanical noise during performance. Combined with its low-noise floor, 100% analog signal path and standard 9V DC operation, the Clean Break is built for players who want refined EQ control, musical gain shaping and responsive amp interaction from a compact guitar pedal. For guitarists seeking flexible boost and EQ functionality without sacrificing feel or clarity, the Heather Brown Electronicals Clean Break Clean Boost and EQ pedal delivers detailed tonal control in a streamlined analog design.
