The sound of silence:
True Bypass
Here at TC, we have a simply philosophy: When
you are using one of our products, you should
hear something great – and if you don’t, you
shouldn’t hear it at all. This is why this pedal
sports True Bypass. When it is bypassed, it is
really off and has zero influence on your tone,
resulting in optimum clarity and zero loss of
high-end.
Frequently asked
questions
“What are the input / output impedance val-
ues for Spark Mini Booster?”
Input Impedance is 1 MΩ. Output Impedance is
100 Ω.
“Is Spark Mini Booster analog or digital?”
The entire signal path of Spark Mini Booster is
100 % analog.
“Should I place my Spark Booster in front of
the amp, or is it better to run it in the amp’s
FX loop?”
The placement really depends on what you
are looking for. If you place it in front of the
amp, the Spark Booster will boost the pre-
amp signal in your amp and create a more
overdriven sound. If you put it in the loop, you
will boost the volume of your amp as the ped-
al will be placed after the pre-amp section.

Working with a booster / Setup examples.
“Does Spark Mini Booster have balanced or
unbalanced input / output?”
Spark Mini Booster has unbalanced I / Os. Use
cables with TS jack – i.e., standard instrument
cables.
