Fryette SAS et Boostasio

the fine folks at Fryette Amplification will debut a new line of tube-driven pedals called the Sound Effects Series at this year’s Winter NAMM show in Anaheim next month. The launch pedals will be the S.A.S. distortion and Boostassio boost. Both pedals are true bypass and are powered by a single EF86 pentode tube (not interchangeable with 12AX7 or similar types). A selected Tung-Sol EF86 is chosen for low microphonics, ultra-quiet operation and extended tube life, according to the company. The S.A.S. sports Volume, Bias and Gain controls while the Boostassio has Volume and Bias controls. Each pedal is expected to retail for around $199.
