Tell me about the Time Machine Boost!

I can't seem to find much info about this pedal. Is this a 60's pedal, low gain? What does the intensity knob do? And so on...

Thanks!

I think it's the Java Boost and Katana in one pedal. Maybe research those pedals (videos, etc)

From the website...

Quote:
* This is a 2 channel, 3 mode pre-amplifier (booster) for driving your amplifiers into overdrive or saturation.

* The 2 channels are labeled VINTAGE and MODERN.

* The Vintage side is inspired by rare germanium boosts like the Dallas Rangemaster.

* The Modern side a new +23dB gain dual JFET, very transparent, guitar signal amplifier.

* Our design uses a Maxim MAX1044 voltage doubling IC to get additional headroom.

* If 6 were 9 ? How about if 9 volts became 18 volts!

* As with all Keeley built electronics it incorporates top of the line audiophile style parts including metal film caps, resistors, silver solder!, etc...

* Teflon-coated wiring leaves this unit breath-taking on the inside. Open one up for yourself!

* Legendary Tones (www.timemachineboost.com) has a wonderfully complete description and sound clips of many sorts. Please give it a listen. This could be what you've missing in a live setting.
I got one of the first ones, and it has survived many pedal purges over the years...

It gives you more... In the "66" mode it gives more grit and more of the upper harmonics, and in the "73" mode it gives more grit and more of the mids that make the "73" setting a wonderful thing to run a Strat through.
