Miller’s Time
Lizard Leg Effects Flying Dragon boost pedal
Scores of designers have tried their hand at creating a clean boost pedal. Computer specialist Steve Miller built his unique solution into a pedal called the Flying Dragon. A generous dollop of epoxy conceals the Dragon’s core components, but the circuit’s massive capacitors hint at the pedal’s huge dynamic capacity. Ultra-neat wiring and outstanding craftsmanship demonstrate Miller’s talent and passion for perfection. There’s no battery option; the current of a Boss-style nine-volt power supply is required to light this lizard’s fire.
The Flying Dragon’s performance is dictated largely by the strength and style of the incoming signal. With passive single-coils and moderately powered humbuckers, the Dragon boosts the signal with the clarity of a forensic microscope. Active pickups and hot humbuckers can excite the Dragon into boutique-quality overdrive that’s on par with the super-defined gain found in some of the world’s most expensive amplifiers.
All types of stringed instrument players are flocking to this new pedal, because whether you dial in a transparent volume increase or use it to accelerate the front-end distortion, the Flying Dragon leaves your instrument’s base tone, and its feel, unchanged. —Eric Kirkland
