Who owns a CAE MC401 boost pedal ?

TelejesterTelejester Frets: 743
How do you find it ?

On a mildly dirty amp setting will it push things from jeff healey blues  to warren dimartini 80s ratt tones ?

Im currently using a maxon od808 reissue set volume 50% and drive fully off, whilst the maxon is a quality unit id like something with less of a mid hump. All feedback appreciated.

    It's a nice booster with a fairly flat frequency response and just a slight increase in top end sparkle. It's got enough volume to drive an amp's input.
    It can be used at 18 volts but I can't say it made a huge difference to the sound.
    I just prefer the SHO for the extra output and more sparkle.

    I've got one, as already said it's a great little pedal, it does add a bit of top end sparkle which sometimes annoys the shit out of me, other times it doesn't!!!

    It was on my board for years until it got pushed out by a Providence Final Booster...

    Unreliablity grumbles with this, apparently switch is on pcb and the pressing of the switch causes flexing and intermittent niggles.

    Is your amp capable of the ratt sounds when fully wound up ?

    The Mc401 is a great clean boost but if you can stretch to the Suhr Isoboost, it's better for that application.

    if you're looking for a boost pedal to push a bit more then a fat boost may suit you better. BMF or Fulltone are good
