Cicognani Engineering

Sexyboost2 Analog Tube Boost

- By Art Thompson

DISTRIBUTED BY GODLYKE, this hand-built, tube-powered boost pedal from Italy's Cicognani Engineering takes a dual-channel approach by featuring foot-switchable clean boost and mid-boost controls, a global cut knob and a bypass footswitch. A single LED indicates which circuit is active - green is clean boost and red is mid boost - and bypass (or on actually) is indicated with a blue LED. The switches are click-on/click-off mechanical types, and the unit appears to be well made and features high-quality components - at least judging by what is viewable, since the PC board inside obscures much of the actual circuit.
