Why use an Push-Pull 500K Preamp?
Designed for the heavy lifters of your collection, the Push-Pull 500K is the definitive performance upgrade for humbucker-equipped guitars. By matching the 500K impedance standard, this unit ensures your humbuckers retain their high-frequency presence and punch. Engaging the pull-switch activates our proprietary MOSFET preamp, providing a clean, transparent gain boost that clears the “mud” often found in high-output setups. It is the perfect blend of traditional control aesthetics and modern, active electronics.

Booster & Preamp Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need the 250K or 500K model?
The choice depends on your pickups: use the 250K model for single-coil pickups to maintain correct impedance loading. Use the 500K model for humbuckers to ensure you retain high-end clarity and prevent signal “loading down.”
How much gain do these units provide?
Our onboard MOSFET preamps provide up to 20dB of clean, transparent gain. This provides enough headroom to push tube amplifiers into natural saturation without coloring your guitar’s original tonal character.
What is the difference between Push-Push and Push-Pull?
It is purely a matter of preference for operation. Push-Push operates like a click-switch (press to engage, press to release), while Push-Pull requires you to pull the knob shaft up to engage and push it back down to disengage.
Will this drain my battery quickly?
Our circuits are designed for high efficiency with an extremely low current draw. When properly installed with a stereo output jack to disconnect the battery when unplugged, a single 9V battery will last for hundreds of hours of playing time.
Can I adjust the boost level?
Yes. Every Boffin FX onboard booster features an internal adjustable trimpot. This allows you to set your “boosted” level exactly where you want it, ensuring a perfect volume match between your clean and boosted signals.
