NOS Transistor · Point-to-Point Wired
$34.99
Vintage germanium character — the warm, slightly compressed boost that defined early British rock tone.
This amp channel selector does more than just switch channels—it expands your entire rig.
Use it as a traditional amp channel switch, or plug it into effects units like the HX Stomp / Helix or Boss Plug-Out gear and gain an extra external footswitch for added flexibility on stage.
Perfect for players who want:
Faster switching
Fewer menu dives
More control without adding complexity
Built tough, easy to use, and designed to just work—night after night.
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.
