The Tone Bakery Creme Brulee Boost makes your lead tones sing and your rhythm tones warm and fat. It started life as a recreation of the most highly valued boost of all time, then we added a slight bump in the midrange to make it extra creamy. Think Warren Haynes/David Grissom. The Creme Brulee doesn't take anything away from your natural tone, it sounds like an extension of your amp. You might never shut it off!

Boutique tones for guitarists on a fast food budget” is the catch phrase for Tone Bakery’s new line of pedals.

With a Klon Centaur going for nearly $3,000 these days, I can understand what Tone Bakery is going for by releasing the Creme Brulee — its take on the iconic Centaur boost/overdrive pedal — for less than $100.

Besides, with its similar knob setup of Gain, Treble and Level, I can add my own man/horse centaur graphic!

The Creme Brulee pedal offers a buffered bypass, meaning it will work great anywhere in your effects chain without robbing any of your signal.

I’m not one to complain to the chef, but if I had to, I’d have asked for the input and output jacks to be labeled. Power options are either 9-volt battery or external power supply. The supplied rubber feet on the bottom kept it from sliding around on my pedalboard.

A legendary boost circuit, served up extra creamy Lower noise level than the original Pristine buffer improves your tone even when the Creme Brulee is bypassed The Creme Brulee has three knobs: Gain, Treble, and Output. With Gain at zero and Treble at 50%, you can use the Output control to provide a clean boost that sounds three dimensional and alive. Dial in a little Gain and Treble for a gentle and natural "in between" overdrive tone, like a vintage tweed amp running its power tubes hot. Turn the Gain up high with the Treble up halfway or higher for a 70's/80's crunch. Mix any of these tones together with your amp's own overdrive for liquid lead tones.
