    Deliveries

    Boost Guitar Pedals uses Royal Mail for all domestic deliveries and UPS for international deliveries.

    UPDATE – As of 13th December 2024, we are
    regrettably no longer able to ship to customers located within the EU or Northern Ireland, due to new GPSR regulations which make it prohibitively expensive for small businesses to operate in the zone.

    UPDATE 2 – As of 10th April 2025, we are still shipping to the USA. Please note that due to the volatile political situation relating to tariffs, we may have to cease offering shipping here at short notice.

    About the BLEAK DISTRICT ELECTRIC RecHead


    The Bleak District Electric RecHead is a cassette tape-style modulator pedal, replicating the tape saturation, flutter and lo-fi organic character of this good-old physical media. 

    RecHead Controls

    At its heart is a vibrato which is extremely dynamic; sensitive to how soft or hard you play, which can be fine-tuned using the Sensitivity control.

    Blending in some of your Dry signal turns wobbly vibrato into lush yet lo-fi chorus.

    The Tape control adjusts the blend of wet signal, or "tape saturation".

    The Portastudio-style 3-way Dolby NR (Noise Reduction) toggle gives you ultimate flexibility in how grainy your sound is. It also affects how prominent the vibrato or chorus effects is perceived to be.

    By adjusting the mix of Tape and Dry you can achieve some unique and very interactive sounds.
