CopperSound Gravity Bomb V2

A V2 Designed for Modern Boosting: More Than Just a Simple "Volume Up"

The Gravity Bomb V2 follows the great tradition of compact clean boosts: increasing level without altering your tone, while serving as a musical tool to make the amp and subsequent pedals respond. This V2 version goes further with targeted work on the midrange via a dedicated selector, to adapt presence and attack to the guitar, pickups, and context (band, studio, stage).

For Whom, Which Styles, and Where in the Signal Chain?

The CopperSound Gravity Bomb V2 is aimed equally at beginner guitarists seeking simple and effective control, and experienced musicians looking for an "always ready" boost on a pedalboard. It excels in blues, rock, indie, pop, funk, stoner, and also works very well to add more body to a guitar tuned low.

Place it at the beginning of the chain to strengthen the attack and push an overdrive/distortion, or after distortion pedals to mainly gain volume for solos. In the studio, it's an excellent clean boost pedal to adjust level at tracking without touching amp settings.

Controls, Modes, and Design: Simple but Very Targeted

The Gravity Bomb V2 focuses on immediate ergonomics: a level control to adjust gain (up to 20 dB) and a 3-position switch to shape midrange placement. In the center position, the EQ remains neutral for a transparent boost. In the low position, the mid boost at 750 Hz thickens and "creams" the sound, ideal for singing leads. In the high position, the boost at 1 kHz enhances presence and helps cut through a dense mix.

Regarding integration, the pedal features a true bypass mechanical : when disengaged, the signal passes through directly with no coloration. And if powered at 18V, you gain in dynamics and headroom before saturation, useful with hot pickups, stacked boosts, or a very sensitive amp.

The Sound

The Gravity Bomb V2 is a clean boost aiming for clarity and touch responsiveness. The tone remains natural: it amplifies what you play rather than rewriting your EQ. The midrange selector is key: 750 Hz adds body and a rounder feel, while 1 kHz gives a spotlight on attack and presence, perfect for articulate riffs and commanding solos. At 18V, the sound is more open, with a particularly appreciated headroom reserve on stage.
