Sounds perfect from the plugging in. 3 knobs and a pedal button put together on a rock solid metal box, nothing to go wrong with.

It does what a booster has to do, it adds a lead channel to the amp - it really simulates the effect of an amplifier ran at 10. I tried it in the shop with a Stratocaster and a Twin Reverb, and it could do all I wanted it to - it can even add a little distortion if you turn it up fully.

If anything is reliable, then it must be a Telenordia effect pedal. It is hand made of rock solid metal that looks and feels as if you could roll over it with a truck.
Sadly I can't afford their products, so I can't take them on gigs ;(

I was at their shop to get my amp repared and they showed me their pedals. These guys really love building and fixing rock n roll gear, and whenever I have anything to repair again, I will bring it there. My amp was fixed over the week-end, I got a call if the repair prize was ok and a call when it was ready.
Very friendly, very interested. Great support.

The Telenordia pedals offer awesome quality and are really something special, but are also very expensive. So I sadly don't own one and will not in the near future, exept if my band gets rich and famous.
Of course you can't compare this with a japanese, chinese or whatever mass product, so you also cannot say that the price is too high. For a hand made product made in Germany, with this unique character, stability and look, the price is ok - remember that you can easily pay 100-120 ??? for a Boss or Ibanez.
The purpose of this pedal is to give technically limited vintage amps a fat, characteristic lead channel with a vintage-like sound, and I could'nt think of anything better. So if you can afford it, give it a try.

i?m using it with a Les Paul Deluxe into vintage Orange with 412 cab.
have used ibanez tubescreamers and a sobbat drivebreaker before, but thats over!
the pedal is not noisy, just the output control makes some "whoooosh" when turned.I?ve talked to the manufacturer and he told me that this is due to the design.so, no problem for me!
i?m now getting the pure sound of my Guitar plus the Orange at more reasonable levels.
for me it is THE sound

ive used ibanez ts and sobbat pedals before, no need for these anymore.i?m kind of blues-rock guitarist and playing for 30 years now.
i really like the pure and fat sound of this booster, it sounds so alive.I have tried other Effects of this manufacturer in their shop, you should definitely give them a try
