The Vox Cooltron Brit Boost is a Japanese-made tube overdrive and boost pedal that blends vintage tonal character with modern flexibility. As part of the innovative Cooltron series, it features a genuine 12AU7 vacuum tube operating at low voltage, delivering true tube warmth and responsiveness without requiring high-voltage power supplies.
This pedal is equipped with a Gain control to adjust the intensity of overdrive, a Tone control to shape the EQ, and a Volume control to set the output level. Additionally, it includes a footswitch to engage the effect and another to toggle between Treble Boost and Full Range Boost modes. Treble Boost focuses on upper-mid frequencies, ideal for cutting through mixes, while Full Range Boost enhances the entire signal spectrum.
The Brit Boost can be powered by four AA batteries or an optional 9V DC adapter, offering flexibility for portable and fixed setups. Its true bypass circuitry ensures your tone remains uncolored when the effect is off. Compact and solidly built, it’s a dependable choice for both live and studio applications.
Launched in 2005, the Cooltron line was Vox's answer to achieving authentic tube tone in a pedalboard-friendly format. The Brit Boost stands out for its articulate overdrive and classic British amp-inspired dynamics, making it a favorite among tone purists.
