Cicognani Engineering Introduces SexyBoost2 Pedal
Cicognani Engineering has released the SexyBoost2, a dual channel tube booster they say is perfect for “pushing the front-end of a tube amp or as a level booster in a loop.” Built around a 12AU7 preamp tube, the pedal has two discreet, footswitchable channels.
“The first channel is a clean boost with a max gain of +10 dB. This channel is perfect for a thick, full-frequency rhythm sound. The second channel is a dedicated midrange boost with a max gain of +8 dB. This channel is perfect as a lead boost to pop out of a mix,” the company writes. “A global Treble/Bass Cut control rounds out the SexyBoost2 and allows the user to fine tune the pedal’s tone for use with a variety of amps.”
The Cicognani SexyBoost2 is hand-made in Italy and features true bypass switching. It’s available now for $279.
