MXR BOOSTER PEDAL/LINE DRIVERJan 29, 2011
By Leonard Lauro
"Len Lauro"
When I hear live bands and the guitar player takes a lead I want to hear it LOUD AND CLEAR but that is rarely the case. Oh, yeah, the band might be loud but it's not the volume that matters, it's the difference between the band and the soloist that matters; the ability of the lead to stand out in front. I notice very little difference between a player's volume when they're playing rhythm and when they're playing lead. Some of that may be their own lack of understanding but if any of it is due to electronics, the problem is OVER. The MXR MC-401 BOOST/LINE DRIVER is a stunning piece of equipment. In the off position it is a clean, true by-pass, just passing your existing signal through without any coloring or distraction. In the on position it gives you a clean, uncolored signal boost, able to add up to +20db with the click of a push button. The lone dial on the unit is variable from 0db to +20db which means that whatever volume you are at, the MC-401 will raise the volume instantly, when engaged, the number of plus db you have dialed in. (Your amp must have the ability to handle the increase. It's like an instant volume dial.) After experimenting slightly at rehearsal I got the general feel of this thing but when I actually used it at a gig, HOLY COW!!!!! This thing is GREAT! Small, compact, rugged as all MXR, simple, and EFFECTIVE. Powered off my existing pedal board power supply (typical 9v) my leads were instantly OUT IN FRONT the way leads sound on recordings. And since it varies from 0db up, it is effective in any size room at any volume. The pedal doesn't care what volume you're at - super loud or super soft - it just does its thing: It makes you louder when it's on compared to when it's off and the amount is consistent with how you set the db boost dial. Also works off 9v battery. Bright blue display light signals when unit is engaged. At $100 or less this pedal is indispensable and virtually priceless!

Just what I wantedJul 20, 2011
By Richard A. Kappele
I play the bass and have three amp modelers I play through. Each of the modelers boosts my signal and I wanted a clean boost pedal to allow me to play my bass without a modeler and still maintain my volume. I needed more than 10db boost and this pedal looked like the solution. I'm running the pedal at about 1-2 o'clock and it is clean and quiet (very low noise). Great pedal!
