Essential Information About the Lacerate Boost Pedal
Essential Information About the Lacerate Boost Pedal
- Two boosts in one mini pedal: Clean mode for a transparent clean boost, Crank mode for a warmer, more harmonic boost.
- High gain reserve: up to +35 dB to make riffs and solos stand out, even in a dense mix.
- "Amp-like" touch: analog circuit with 2-stage FET designed to emulate the response and musicality of a tube amplifier.
- Suitable for crowded pedalboards: choice of true bypass or buffer at startup, convenient to limit signal loss.

A Modern Boost with a "Preamp" Spirit
The boost is one of the most essential effects on a pedalboard: it can serve as a simple volume increase, a tool to push an amp, or a "preamp" to thicken the tone. The Lacerate Boost clearly fits into this modern approach, relying on an analog FET transistor circuit, known for its behavior close to a tube amplification stage. While some boosts remain very tame, it embraces a wide range of level increase and a real coloration option, covering both the role of a clean boost and that of a booster that adds character.For Whom and Which Styles?
The Lacerate Boost is aimed at guitarists who want a simple, quick, and effective solution to gain presence without getting lost in settings. In Clean mode, it is perfect for styles where intact dynamics and clear sound are sought: funk, pop, country, blues, classic rock, or to enhance a slightly crunchy clean tone. In Crank mode, it becomes an excellent ally to thicken a rock rhythm, make a lead sing, or add warm saturation that responds to touch.In live situations, it helps to cut through the mix with a truly ample boost. In studio, it serves as a gain-staging tool: pushing a preamp, driving an overdrive harder, or simply bringing life back to a long effects chain. It also works very well with single-coil or humbucker pickups, and its headroom reserve allows maintaining good definition, even with high-output guitars.

Questions frequently asked
Does the Nux Lacerate FET Boost work with a standard 9 V power supply?
The required power supply is 9 V DC with a negative center, with a recommended capacity of 100 mA or more. No power adapter is included. An internal converter then boosts the voltage from 9 V to 18 V to increase headroom.
What is the difference between the Clean and Crank modes?
The Clean mode boosts the level while maintaining tonal balance, whereas the Crank mode adds gain and harmonics. The mode is changed by holding the footswitch for more than one second.
Can it be used to boost an overdrive or distortion pedal?
Placed before an overdrive, this pedal increases attack and saturation level; placed after, it functions more as a volume boost for solo passages.
True bypass or buffer: how to choose on this pedal?
Two bypass modes are available: true bypass and buffer. Selection is made at power-up by holding the footswitch; the LED lights red for true bypass and green for buffer.
What are the dimensions of the Lacerate FET Boost?
The compact size measures 94 Ă 51 Ă 53 mm with a weight of 174 g.
