The TC Electronic Spark Mini Booster (in Box) is a highly compact and purely analog pedal designed for guitarists seeking a smooth, transparent boost of up to plus twenty decibels. Its one-control simplicity belies its clever versatility. The single Level control adjusts the amount of clean gain, from a subtle push to a more aggressive drive that can edge your amplifier into natural overdrive. The pedal employs fully analog circuitry and true bypass switching, ensuring that your guitar’s tone remains pristine when the effect is disengaged. A standout feature is the “PrimeTime” footswitch, which intelligently adapts to your playing style. A quick tap latches the boost on until the next press, while holding the switch engages momentary boost only while pressed, making it ideal for dynamic lead bursts without separate switches. The enclosure matches the aesthetic simplicity with a sturdy gold-and-white mini format that fits virtually any pedalboard real estate.
TC Electronic’s own information and trusted reviews confirm that the single Level control governs up to 20 dB of transparent clean boost, and the PrimeTime switching delivers both latched and momentary activation options. Artists such as Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath, Troy Van Leeuwen of Queens of the Stone Age, Rob Chapman (Dorje), James Bay, Devin Townsend, Scott Ian of Anthrax, Steve Morse (Deep Purple), Nathan East (Toto), Fredrik Åkesson (Opeth), Brad Whitford (Aerosmith), Ayla Tesler-Mabe (Calpurnia), and Syu (Galneryus) have been documented using the Spark Mini Booster, often highlighting its transparent push and dynamic flexibility for solos or enhancing amp breakup.
