This was a handmade pedal by TWS Pedals in Liverpool. It has two sides, one is Tom’s better boost circuit and the other is the Throttle with added gain functions.
Here’s his description of ‘The Throttle’.
The Throttle is a gain pedal capable of everything; a clean boost, treble boost, low, mid and high gain drive, distortion, and fuzz. It's loud, clean ups amazingly, and has controls over the highs and lows.
The range of gain from clean through to fuzz is astonishing: light drive, high gain distortion, treble boost, it does do it all.
And the Better Boost:
Most, if not all, treble/clean boosters based on a single transistor topology (such as the Dallas Rangemaster) give the user only limited control of the low frequency content in their signal. There’s always either a switch to alter the low cut-off frequency at pre-determined intervals, or a pot that shelves frequencies below a pre-determined point. The Better Boost does away with these limiting methods and gifts the user with 25dB of clean boost and the ability to dial in the cut off frequency themselves. It can push your amp with the frequency response of a rangemaster, go all out with a full frequency boost to fill in all the sonic gaps, and do everything in between.
It achieves this frequency control passively; so it never feels like you’re tone is missing something, or sounds ‘shaped’ in anyway. The Better Boost is the ideal 1 transistor boost, and is the perfect companion for any guitarist.
This pedal has two separate ins and outs to work with loop switchers and an external boosting option.
