[Am] [F#]

[G] [E]
[A#m] [Bm] [A#m] [G] [A] So I want to tell you a little bit about the [Em] Boost.
It's just about the most exciting [A] thing that I [B] have come across,
where [G#m] certainly pedals, pedal boards are [Bm] concerned.
You know, as soon [E] as you plug into a group of pedals,
[A] sound of your [Em] instrument changes from what it sounded [E] like
before you put those pedals in.
And I try as hard as I can [F#m] to get [E] a great sound
just between guitar and amplifier.
[Dm]
Mason has built my [E] current pedal board,
and he brought this [Em] to me, his Boost, which just blew my mind.
Freaked me out, actually, because I [A] have never
plugged into [Em] a pedal board and not heard some kind of a difference.
With [D] his [E] Boost, just by plugging into it
and [A] not even [D] using the Boost [E] element of it, [Am] which is great,
[F#] [E] I [D] plug into the pedal board now, and I plug into my [A] amplifier,
and it's identical.
[G] Now [E] I can actually use these pedals, and my sound hasn't changed at all.
It's just enhanced by the effects.
Here's me, Dumble amplifier, plugged into the Boost.
[Em] [E]
[C] [E]
[D] [Bm] [E] [C#] [Bm] [Em]
[A] [B] [E]
So we'll kick it up a notch.
[Em]
It sounds exactly the same, only louder.
I would say almost a little better.
[A]
It doesn't add any darkness or compression to the sound.
It's just straight up what's coming out of the amplifier.
I just can't tell you how [Em] happy I am about that.
[A] [D#]
[F#] [Em]
[A] [Em]
[F#] [Em]
[D] [Em]
[E] [E]
[Bm] [G] [Bm]
[D#] [Em] [B] [A]
[Em] [E] [Em] [E]
[A] [E]
Fantastic, as I say.
I can't say enough about this pedal in terms of how much I appreciate it.
No change to your sound, thanks to this.
