What does the Pickup Resonance Switch do?

The switch lets you voice single-coil pickups to behave like a vintage humbucker (position 1) or a high-output humbucker (position 2), giving you tonal shaping options without adding distortion or coloration.

How much gain does it provide?

The pedal delivers up to 25 dB of transparent gain with distortion below 0.02% at standard output levels, making it suitable for pushing tone or evening out pickup imbalances on stage or in the studio.

What power does it require?

The Pickup Booster Mini runs on 9 to 18V regulated DC power (center negative) and draws only 4.5mA at 9V when the LED is on, requiring minimal current from your pedalboard supply.

Will this work on a tight pedalboard?

Yes—at 1.52" × 3.65" × 2.125", it is one of the most compact boost options available and includes true bypass switching, so it won't affect your tone when off.

How clean is the audio quality?

The Class A discrete circuit delivers a noise floor of -120 dBV at maximum gain and frequency response from 30 Hz to 38 kHz, capturing your full instrument's natural resonance with minimal coloration.

Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster Mini Pedal

The Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster Mini is a compact, Class A discrete boost designed to reshape single-coil and humbucker tone without coloration. Its small footprint makes it ideal for tight pedalboards, while the pickup resonance switch lets you voice single-coil pickups to behave like vintage or high-output humbuckers.

Design & Build Quality

This mini pedal measures just 1.52" × 3.65" × 2.125", making it one of the most space-efficient options for any board. The true bypass circuit ensures your tone remains unaffected when the pedal is off, while the 9 to 18V regulated DC adapter (center negative) powers the unit with minimal current draw—only 4.5mA at 9V when the LED is on.

Audio Performance

The fully discrete Class A circuit delivers up to 25 dB of gain with exceptionally low distortion at < 0.02% at 200mV RMS output and noise floor of -120 dBV (referred to input at maximum gain). Frequency response extends from 30 Hz to 38 kHz (-3dB), capturing the full spectrum of your instrument's natural resonance for reliable onstage clarity and presence.
