Very easy to use. Two separate boost channels, each with own level of boost. Revolutionary battery holder with battery so you can just plug in and play.
I use the TWINSTOMP boost with DSL 50, Laney VC 50, Laney VC15r it has transformed all my sounds on these valve amps. I have also used it on my state Line 6 75watt spider 2 head with stunning results

I I???m a lead guitarist in a touring 4 piece band, before my twinstomp came alone I had huge problems getting clarity and drive on my solos. Quiet simple the twinstomp has the best sound could have ever wished for.
These is zero noise when switching the pedal on and off and change in channel unlike previous pedal i have used in the past.
The TwinStomp Booster gives me two switchable clean-boost channels, plus true bypass. With the pedal bypassed, if you set your amplifier to give a full clean tone, just bordering on break-up, the two boost settings can be set to drive your Amp into a fat crunch on Channel 1 and a full screaming lead on Channel 2.
It really is that simple to get a guitar hero like tone

I have over 15 pedals on my board over the year and can say without a shadow of doubt this is the most rugged pedal I have ever used in the 6 six month I have been using the pedal whilst gigs, rehearsal and in the studio it has never let me down and always produced excellent results. In the same time I???ve been through 2 boss tuners, an a/b selector pedal and a Marshall Guvnor.
This pedal is a rock.

Twinstomp are a great small UK based pedal company Adam Betts owner/builder is a really great guy and if i ever have any problems (not that I???m expecting them) I have a lot of confidence that he will sort anything out.
Each pedal is fully tested twice, before and after assembly into the case. Every pedal has a full functional test into a quality valve amplifier in addition to wave form testing using a Function Generator, Oscilloscope and Digital Voltmeter.

I have been playing since I was seven years old and been searching for a god like tone for 19 years i can safely say i have finally found it. The pedal is amazing and that is know exaduration. I play a wide range of material and styles and examples of tracks which i have used the pedal on can be found at www.myspace.com/highwiredmusic ive used it on all the tracks, don't worry you'll hear when it kicks in ;o).
This pedal is a real gem. Thanks Twinstomp

You've probably heard this before, but first impressions were "what the f**k have I bought now in the never ending search for tone?"
I've got an old marshall stack from the progressive rock days with Kraken, an AC 30 , Fender blues junior and the new valve Line 6 212.
This unit is like pulling back a foot thick fibreglass panel away from the front of the amps. I am rather impressed.
And that's just after 30 mins.
Ta mate. Well worth waiting for and I hope you do as well as you deserve to next year.
Regards
Frank

This die cast unit has standard jacks in and out, an on/off toggle switch, 9V DC in, footpedals to switch the unit on from standby and toggle between the two independent channels. Gain is set using the individual rotary controls.Its handbuilt in the UK by a guitarist (Adam Betts).
Put simply you can set up a clean/crunch tone on one channel and an overdriven sound on the other. The mosfet technology used in the pedal means that there is no colouration added by the pedal. You get the best sound that the guitar/amp combination is capable of. Pretty neat ?

Its built like a brick s***house ,so gigging shouldn't be a problem.
I would buy another if it was stolen.

I have been playing since I was nine years old. Progressive rock in the 70s/80s. Punk folk for 6 years after that followed by a spell operating an eight track facility. Have played with various Liverpool (Cavern) based bands including Carol and the Memories and The Manhattons. Currently with Northern Lights (Indie plus original material) and Blues combo The John Clucas Band.
I have spent far too much money hunting for the "ideal tone". My family have been impoverished as a result! They can breathe a sigh of relief now as Dad will stop spending their inheritance for a while.
