Our Micro Boost also didn’t saturated too fast like the original design. Saturated can be simply described as distortion caused by the incapability of the components (in this case the IC) to drive the signal more. We use a high quality ‘op amp IC’ that didn’t saturate too fast. So it will stay clean until the ‘volume/boost’ knob almost all the way up.
We have a lot of option for this simple boost pedal. Micro Boost for a simple single boost stage.
