What is the Pickup Resonance Switch, and how does it affect my tone?

The Pickup Resonance Switch voices single-coil pickups with two voicing options: position '1' shapes them to sound like a vintage humbucker, and position '2' voices them as a high-output humbucker. This tonal shaping is completely transparent and adds no additional coloration or noise.

Will this pedal fit on a crowded pedalboard?

Yes. At just 1.52" × 3.65" × 2.125", the Pickup Booster Mini is one of the most compact boost pedals available and draws only 4.5mA @ 9V, so it integrates easily into tight rigs without power-supply strain.

How much gain does it offer, and how transparent is it?

The pedal delivers up to 25 dB of gain with distortion measured at less than 0.02% at 200mV RMS output and a noise floor of -120 dBV, ensuring your signal remains clean and uncolored even at full gain.

What power options does it support?

The Pickup Booster Mini runs on a regulated 9 to 18V DC adapter with center-negative polarity, giving you flexibility to power it from most pedalboard supplies or a dedicated wall adapter.

Can I use this pedal for non-guitar sources?

Yes. Its transparent gain, low noise floor, and full frequency response (30 Hz to 38 kHz) make it suitable for any line-level source in studio or live settings, including vocals, keyboards, and bass.

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.
