RFO Electronics – Rocket Boost

Vintage Tone Boost

Available color in stock – White & Red with Turquoise

 

The Rocket Boost is a powerful boost that really pushes your amplifier into a great overdriven tone, great for use at the end of your signal chain to push your amp and recover any signal chain loss. It provides healthy clean boost at lower settings, and can provide extra bite and grit as level is increased, it is excellent at lifting leads.

The Rocket Boost is a modern interpretation of the classic Mu-Amp, originally used with vacuum tubes to provide gain, it has been modified for use with modern electronics components, and replicates the “Mu” or amplification factor of a vacuum tube, using FET transistors instead.

this makes for a small but powerful boost that provides relatively clean boost at lower levels, and gain as levels are increased.

It’s true bypass and employs soft switch relay switching, the design is rugged, and nearly bulletproof, perfect for live musicians.

Your RFO Electronics effect will operate on a conventional 9V alkaline battery (Battery not included), or a 9V power supply using a5.5mm long x 2.1mm diameter center tip negative power supply, such as a One Spot, or pedal board power supply.

 

Things you should know about your RFO Electronics effect’s switching:

  1. RFO Electronics effects have a default setting of This means that when you first power your effect, or yourpedal board up, your effect will be in the BYPASS state.
  2. To minimize the possibility of draining your effect’s battery, the effect has a built-in internal switch that reduces thepossibility of draining the It is designed so that when you remove all instrument cables, the battery is not connected to the effect. Therefore, your effect will require an instrument cable to be inserted into the Instrument IN jack.

Once an instrument cable is inserted into the IN jack, you should see the LED flash twice. This indicates that the effect ispowered up, switching relays are properly sequenced, and the effect is in BYPASS. Your effect is now ready for use.

Remember, when using your effect on battery power, always remove the instrument input cable from the effect. This will ensure that your battery will provide you the longest life possible.

  1. When using a DC power supply, your RFO Electronics effect will automatically disconnect from the battery, and power willbe supplied by the DC power When a DC power supply is being used, your effect’s LED will immediately provide twoflashes, and be in BYPASS, ready for use.
  2. Remember, the effect does not use the heavy pressure stomp switch. You do not need to stomp it to activate or de-activate the A simple press will accomplish cycling the effect.

In the event that your effect appears to be malfunctioning, there are only a few troubleshooting steps that need checked:

  1. If using a battery when the apparent malfunction occurs, if possible, switch to a DC power If one is not available, replace the battery with a fresh battery. While this may sound like common sense, nearly 100% of the switching issues that we have experienced have been the result of a very weak or dead 9V battery.
  2. Verify that you receive two flashes on the LED when the effect is powered up. If you do not receive two removeall power, DC and battery, and try again. This should reset the internal programming. If the condition persists. contact us, andwe will provide further guidance.
