NICK JOHNSTON Demos the Seymour Duncan Killing Floor High Gain Boost Pedal

Canadian guitar wizard Nick Johnston spent some time demoing the new Seymour Duncan Killing Floor high-gain boost pedal, which made its debut at Summer NAMM this past week.

Here’s a description of the pedal from Duncan:

The Killing Floor High Gain Boost gives you both a volume boost and a musical amp-like overdrive all in one, with an unmistakable, undeniable bluesy feel. Use it to boost your overall output for solos, to push an amp further into overdrive, or for a beefy, expressive solo tone. It’s also great as an ‘always on’ pedal for adding the finishing touch to your tone; it’s like an overall enhancer for your entire sound.

The single control knob gives you up to a whopping 34 dB of additional gain for amazing range, from subtle boost to brash chords to a full, fat overdriven lead, while the 3-way Voicing toggle switch lets you sculpt your high end with a boost at 10K, a cut at 4.8K or a flat setting. Use this switch to take the bite out of overly bright single coils, put more sting into a dark humbucker or to add crystal clear, boutique-style airiness to your tone.

The Killing Floor is made in the USA and is True Bypass.
