The Burriss Boostiest II is a combination of two totally independent gain pedals in a single enclosure. On the right side (input side) is a fully adjustable clean gain pre-amp. On the left side (output side) is a “TS”-flavored overdrive circuit. Both circuits feed from the same power source, a single 9V battery or a standard 9-volt negative-center wall-wart power supply. This power source is divided and stepped up to a 16V ~ 18V operating voltage for the clean gain boost side, and lowered or “browned out” for the overdrive circuit. Bob Burriss believes that this topography gives the best combination for a big, clean tone and a fatter overdrive tone. Both circuits are true bypass and can be used alone or together.

Gain: To achieve the most natural overdrive tone, set the gain knob low and the level control high. The most overdrive effect can be achieved with the level set low in combination with higher gain.

Tone: This is a high frequency roll-off control that is used to compensate for the tone changes that occur when the device is engaged.

Level: This is a master volume control for the overdrive circuit

Output: This is a master volume control for the boostier circuit. It should be used in conjunction with the gain control to adjust the desired girth of the note.

Highs: This control is intended to compensate for the increased bandwidth (brightness) as the gain is increased. Roll this knob back to adjust the stock (bypassed) tone curve.

Input: This is the gain control of the boostier (clean boost) channel. This knob is designed to be a set-it-and-forget-it kind of control. It is NOT and attenuator. It is a bias adjustment that will make a TERRIBLE, SCRATCHY NOISE if adjusted with the circuit on. (DON’T TRIP! This is absolutely normal). All adjustments should be done with the device in bypass mode or off.
