Don't Wait 4 Years For A King Of Tone!
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.
We offer free 24-hour tracked UK delivery on all orders over £150! Order before 9pm for next-working-day dispatch.
We offer 30-day hassle-free returns so you can pick the item you want safe in the knowledge that if it's not for you, we'll take it back and refund your order.
International deliveries are subject to additional import duties and VAT at your local rate. These charges are payable to the courier at time of delivery. Calculate how much you will need to pay here.

The Fredric Effects Blue Monarch overdrive is based on the 1990s Marshall Blues Breaker and features all the mods offered by the cult AnalogMan King Of Tone and Prince Of Tone pedals.
Don't fancy a 4-year wait for an AnalogMan pedal? The Blue Monarch builds on the AnalogMan design (which is based on the Marshall Blues Breaker) and hits the nail on the head. Get the King Of Tone or Prince Of Tone if you're after a pedal investment...but if you're simply after stonking tone then the Blue Monarch is what you need!
Tim at Fredric Effects has repackaged this circuit into his custom mini-wedge enclosure for 2024, as used for some of his other pedals. It's built like a tank, compact and looks great!
All four controls are easily accessible on the front of the pedal, and the King Of Tone internal dip switches have been replaced with a clipping toggle. In the "up" position the sound is less compressed and more open, with less distortion.
In addition, Fredric Effects has added an internal dip switch to turn on a boost circuit and increase the amount of gain on tap, making this a super-versatile overdrive that will fit well in any rig.
