Analog Man Bad Bob Booster Boost Pedal

Analog Man Bad Bob Booster Boost Pedal

Analog Man Bad Bob Booster Boost Pedal may be bad, but it makes your amp sound real good!

Originally built by Robbie Wallace - RGW Electronics

In 2010 Analog Man started making this pedal. They have been available with hand stamped graphics like their switch boxes until late 2013 when they came up with nice graphics like the original, but in heavy duty epoxy ink instead of a fragile sticker. In June of 2017, they made the logo full color, adding red like Robbie's original!

The Bad Bob pedal is a booster based on the famous and much copied mini-booster "JFET mu-amp" design of Jack Orman. This design was also used as the basis for most other boutique boost pedals.

It is a class A booster that is capable of driving your favorite tube amp into tonal nirvana! With well over 20dB of gain, the Bad Bob fattens up even the cleanest high powered tube amp.

Do you use a lower wattage amp already on the verge of breaking up? The Bad Bob pushes it over the edge to obtain rich sustain.

Do you like a vintage or modern 30 Watt Class A tube amp cranked to the hilt? If so you will love the Bad Bob...
