Mythos Pedals - Argo Boost Deluxe
In Stock - Shipping now!
Description Courtesy of Mythos:
The original Argo design is a tweak on the iconic "COB" circuit which allows players the freedom to balance out the Octave Fuzz sounds with a boosted Clean signal. When you set the Fuzz control and Blend control to minimum the Argo circuit functions as a very useful and musical sounding Booster.
When Mick Taylor from That Pedal Show approached me about having that be a switchable feature I was excited to be able to derive more from a circuit that so many players know and love. And so, the Argo Boost Deluxe was born.
At it's core the Argo Boost Deluxe is the same topology as the Argo but the additional Footswitch and Red Boost Knob allow to use the boost portion of the circuit by itself. Instead of pairing a new booster inside this new pedal, think of it as changing lanes inside the pedal.
This allows you to have a pair of gain stages that are perfect in front of a drive pedal or drive amp. The boost lets you increase the overall push, and with the push of the FUZZ footswitch you can unleash the full Argo Octave Fuzz sound.
Inside the Argo Boost Deluxe there is a HIGHS switch that allows for some more tonal possibilities. In the initial planning for this pedal, Mick has expressed interest in making the boost portion a little brighter overall. Instead of making it a permanent sonic change, we decided to allow players the choice.
The pedal ships stock with the HIGHS switch off. The small switch, when engaged, will add a fine amount of high end sparkle to your signal when using the Boost mode. This bright circuit is not part of the Octave Fuzz sound.
