Germanium transistors haven’t been manufactured in decades. The ones that remain are finite, unpredictable, and irreplaceable — and that is exactly what makes them special.

Each transistor is individually tested for leakage and gain before it is selected for a build. The slight variations in germanium behavior — the warmth, the sag, the way it compresses at the edge of breakup — are features, not flaws. This is tone you cannot dial in with a plugin.

The Germanium Boost is designed to push your amp’s front end without imposing itself too soon. It stays transparent until it doesn’t — and when it begins to break up, it blooms rather than clips.
