Phil Jones Bass announces the BOOSTEROOSTER Model PE-2, A precision 2-band EQ, preamp, and clean booster for bass. Packing a boost of18dB of 2 band clean gain the PE-2 is a compact preamp and EQ pedal engineered specifically for electric and upright bass. It has been engineered to restore tonal control in any environment and delivers consistent, authoritative bass tone when connecting to PAs, recording interfaces, or unfamiliar backline — where bass tone is most often compromised.

The BOOSTEROOSTER’S +18dB of clean gain will drive amplifiers into their optimal operating range, compensating for passive or low-output instruments, and maintaining signal strength through long cable runs or complex pedalboards with no distortion, no compression, no coloration.

Features of its precision EQ include Bass Control (±12dB @ 60Hz) — targets true fundamentals, adding weight and authority without boom or speaker overload.

Treble Control (±12dB @ 6kHz) — adds clarity and articulation without harshness.

It is Optimized for Magnetic and Piezo Pickups An MG/PZ switch selects 2MΩ for magnetic pickups or 4.7MΩ for piezo. Piezo pickups loaded incorrectly lose low-frequency content before the signal reaches the amplifier. The 4.7MΩ input extends effective bandwidth to approximately 30Hz — well below the 41Hz low E — restoring the full character of the instrument.
