OBNE Black Bobbin Boost Pedal FAQs

What Makes the Black Bobbin Pedal Different From Other Boost Pedals?

The Black Bobbin by OBNE offers two independent boost circuits that can be used separately or together. This allows you to shape your tone with a clean, mid-forward boost or a warmer, slightly overdriven boost, giving you more flexibility than a single boost pedal.

How Should I Use the BUMP Side of the Black Bobbin Dual Clean Boost Pedal?

The BUMP side is designed to be an always-on boost that enhances your tone without coloring it too much. It’s great for pushing your amp or other drive pedals while keeping your sound crisp and dynamic. You can also fine-tune its response using the internal trim pot.

What Does the BOOST Side of the Black Bobbin Pedal Do?

The BOOST side is a transistor-based circuit that adds warmth and grit to your sound. It works well after your highest gain stage to boost solos, bring out fuzz tones, or add a slight overdrive when the gain is turned up.

Can I Change the Order of the Boost Circuits in My Signal Chain?

Yes! The BUMP and BOOST circuits have independent inputs and outputs so that you can place them anywhere in your signal chain. You can even use one before your gain pedals and the other after for extra control.

Does the Black Bobbin Boost Pedal Feature True Bypass?

Yes, both sides of the pedal use soft-touch true bypass switching. This ensures your signal remains clean when the pedal is off, with no unwanted noise or tone loss.

What Is the Internal Trim Pot on the BUMP Side of the Black Bobbin Boost Pedal For?

The internal trim pot lets you adjust the voicing of the BUMP boost. You can tweak it to fine-tune the midrange and high-end response, making it work perfectly with your amp and other pedals.

Can the Black Bobbin Boost Pedal Be Used as an Overdrive?

Yes! While primarily a boost, the BOOST side can function as a light overdrive when the gain is turned up. This makes it an excellent option for adding extra drive without changing your core tone too much.

Can I Use the OBNE Black Bobbin Boost Pedal for Both Live and Studio Settings?
