Frequently asked questions
Can these pedals work together on the same pedalboard?
Yes. The Secret Path is a reverb effect pedal and the TI-BOOST is a boost/EQ pedal—they serve different functions and can be chained together. Typically, boosts work well before reverb in a signal chain.
Which is better for metal?
The TI-BOOST is specifically designed for hard rock and metal, with controls optimized for gain and midrange shaping. The Secret Path is not recommended for metal or punk, as those genres don't typically rely on ambient reverb textures.
What's the main difference in bypass behavior?
The Secret Path uses buffered bypass and preserves reverb tails after it's turned off, allowing reverb to fade naturally. The TI-BOOST uses true bypass, which completely removes the pedal from the signal path with no coloration.
Which pedal is more compact?
The TI-BOOST is slightly smaller at 56 x 66 x 112mm and lighter at 0.55kg, versus the Secret Path at 58.5 x 74 x 121.55mm and 0.38kg. Both are pedalboard-friendly, though the TI-BOOST has a marginally smaller footprint.
