The TC Electronic Rush Booster pedal provides guitarists with an impressively clean and transparent boost for solos and accentuating rhythms. Designed with an all-analog circuit, the Rush Booster delivers a rich, organic boost up to 20dB to highlight your tone. With its true bypass design, the pedal maintains your core guitar tone when disengaged. The Rush Booster's streamlined interface features a single knob for boost level, making it simple to dial in anything from a subtle volume lift to a roaring boost. This compact pedal has a durable enclosure and top-mounted jacks to conserve space on your pedalboard. Best of all, it comes at a budget-friendly price point.

All-Analog Circuitry Keeps Your Tone Organic

Inside the Rush Booster is an all-analog circuit that provides a rich, transparent boost. With no digital processing or modeling, the analog design preserves the organic qualities of your tone. Whether you want to push your amp into natural overdrive or raise your level for solos, the analog circuit gives up to 20dB of boost while retaining the true character of your guitar and amp. The Rush Booster simply enhances what you already have.

One Knob Controls the Clean Boost

A single knob on the Rush Booster controls the entire boost range, keeping operation simple. Just set the knob to the desired amount of transparent boost, up to 20dB. Turn it clockwise for louder lead lines that cut through the mix. Back it off for just a touch of volume lift. With one knob, you can quickly dial in anything from a subtle push to a roaring boost when you dig in.

Get up to 20dB of Transparent Clean Boost

With up to 20dB of boost on tap, the Rush Booster provides plenty of volume for pushing your amp into natural overdrive or making your leads soar above the mix. The wide frequency response ensures boosted tones retain their clarity and organic character—no harshness or artificial-sounding artifacts. Whether you need a subtle volume lift for rhythm playing or serious boost for wailing leads, the Rush Booster has the transparent clean boost you need.

Lift Your Tone With True Bypass

The Rush Booster pedal features a true bypass design that ensures complete tonal transparency when the pedal is off. Your signal flows directly from input to output with no tampering of EQ or tone suck. Once engaged, the pedal boosts your signal without altering your core guitar tone. You get your natural tone, just louder. The true bypass makes the Rush Booster an excellent choice for players who want a clean boost without tonal coloration.

    I play a lot of blues,but on the jazz side of the line. My guitars do not sound good with a tube screamer,so I'd been using a blues driver as a boost for years ,when I picked up an mxr eq years ago and thought that was as good as it gets. I used this combination for over 10 years.This "RUSH" pedal was on sale at the same time I was looking for a clean boost,so I took a chance.My guitars ,through a real silverface deluxe reverb,sing like never before.I'm thinking of replacing my blues driver with a second one.No fuzz,no grind,just louder guitar. Great addition to my board,though I wish it had a tone knob. If you play classic guitars through classic tube amps , are attached to your sound, but just want a little more volume on demand,then this pedal is for you .

    Ok so first... I'm not a size matters person when it comes to pedals (within reason). So the size of this one isn't really a turn off for me. Ive spent 3x this in boost pedal before. Reluctantly I got rid of it. I've been waiting for the right moment to order a new one but then I saw this pedal in the case at Guitar Center. That cheap? Alright.... I'll bite. Lemme try it out. there's no way you can get a good tone out of a pedal this cheap. YES!! YOU CAN! immediately I was blown away by how transparent the Rush boost is. No coloration at all whatsoever. Dialed turned all the way down there's absolutely no change in my tone at all. While slowly turning the knob around my amp starts singing more and more. Tubes melodically cooking in such a way I had only heard with that one boost I had before. The boost even cleans up with the guitars volume knob. I seriously want to buy another one! Just try it out! You won't regret it! If you like YOUR guitar into YOUR amp and you just want more of THAT sound... Get THIS pedal! going to try their compressor next

    I wanted a pedal to boost the signal of my Fenders to drive my amps a little more like my Gibsons without changing each guitar's tone or unique character -- basically I wanted transparent gain. This pedal does exactly that... and I'm loving it! I was disappointed with the pedal's large size and I saw that TC has another clean boost pedal that's a lot smaller, the Spark Mini Booster. I bought it but ended up returning it. To my ears, it diminished some of the high frequencies and added slight compression.

  • It Works

    Plenty of boost without coloring your tone. What else is a good boost supposed to do?

    Great pedal that I like to leave on almost all the time. I love running it behind my drive pedals. This pedals favorite place on my board is just before a Tube Screamer. I wasnt expecting to like this pedal as much as I do. I kept debating whether I was going to buy the TC Electronic Mini Spark or the Rush Booster. This went on sale for $34.99 and this ended up being the one, but I know the spark would have been great too. I was confused of why TC had two different booster products that cost the same exact price. Dont hesitate to buy this pedal if you want a nice analog booster. The same company that made the Spark Booster that everyone rants and raves about ,made another great booster! This is on my board to stay.
