A Classic "Boost" Micro Amp in a Double Version, Signed Third Man Hardware
MXR and Third Man Hardware team up here around a staple: the Micro Amp, a simple and effective booster that has become a standard for pushing an amp, raising an output level, or thickening a sound without altering it. The Double Down retains this "plug and play" spirit but multiplies it with two independent circuits in the same pedal, allowing instant switching from a subtle boost to a stronger boost, or adapting your level to two setups.
Who Is the Double Down For?
This guitar boost pedal is aimed both at beginners looking for a clear solution to stand out in the mix, and at experienced musicians building a coherent pedalboard for the stage. It fits perfectly with styles seeking volume and presence without necessarily adding saturation: blues, rock, garage, indie, funk, country, pop, and even metal (as a front-end amp boost to tighten the attack).
Live, the logic is obvious: one level for rhythm parts, another for solos, or a dedicated boost for sections needing more projection. In the studio, it helps optimize gain staging: driving a preamp, hitting another pedal, or compensating for a drop in level from a guitar or microphone.

Questions frequently asked
Does the MXR X Third Man Hardware Double Down provide two levels of boost?
The two independent circuits allow for two distinct boost amounts within the same pedal. Two levels can thus be set for rhythm and solo playing.
Is buffered bypass available on this pedal?
A switch provides access to either buffered bypass or true bypass. With the buffer engaged, the input impedance exceeds 700 kOhms. Without the buffer, it exceeds 450 kOhms.
What power supply is required for the Double Down?
A 9 V DC power supply is required, with a current draw of 11 mA, and it is not included.
How should this pedal be placed to drive an amplifier?
Placed before the amp input, this pedal can push the natural tone and tighten the attack. At the end of the chain or in an effects loop, it is more used to increase the perceived volume.
What connectivity does it offer?
Connectivity includes one instrument input on jack and two jack outputs. The output impedance is under 1 kOhm.
