pickup signal through the booster or true by-pass to the output

connector of the instrument.

1. Before anything, draw your existent wiring on a piece of paper.

2. Prepare a diagram for booster installation before doing any

unsolderings. Start with the provided wiring diagrams on Micro

Booster product web page.

3. Use the supplied colored wires and solder their ends to guitar's

circuit; the other end will be just attached to the pin header

connector on the booster's board.

4. Fix the output stereo connector to the metal plate at guitar's

output hole.

5. Place and secure the Micro Booster Preamp in place of the

original pot, leaving room for the 9V battery (or two batteries in

series, if you wish to increase headroom to 18V) and have the

preamp's gain knob leveled.

6. Use the battery fixing clip provided to secure the battery in

between the electronics. We recommend sticking this metal clip to

the plastic electronics cover.

7. Connect the battery to the snap-on connector and the Red and

Black wires to the pin header connector as indicated in the image in

this manual or the schematic downloaded from product web page.

Booster's circuit will be powered as long as guitar cable is inserted

into the output (stereo) connector. The plug on the instrument cable

has to be a mono TS (Tip & Slave) plug.

INSTALLATION OF THE NO-POT VERSION

The booster without the switch-pot can be installed anywhere in the

guitar. A DPDT switch is needed (not provided) and it will be wired

with 6 wires (not provided) to the six-holes group on the PCB.

FINAL TOUCH

You may notice that booster's gain setting is made with a knob that

has a long sliding shaft, which may help get the knob through the

plastic cover or pickguard, for an easy setting. That can be very

useful when changing the sounds and amps on a regular basis, such

as when in studio or on the road. However, the Unity Gain trimmer

can only be set when you have full access to the circuit board and is

supposed to stay untouched. If you take the Gain knob trough the

front pickguard (as needed in Fender-like guitars), the hole has to

be 6 mm in diameter and is to be placed at aproximately 11 mm

from the center of the potentiometer's shaft; it will be just near the

control knob (tone or volume). Try to align this hole on the same axis

that aligns all other controls of the guitar, for an aesthetically

pleasing result. Reverse the gain knob, trim it's bottom edge with a

nail clipper and pass it through electronic components, as you see

in the picture on the website. Take out the knob through pickguard

as much as needed (flush face is recommended). If the knob is to be

taken through the plastic cover on the back side of your guitar, you

may vertically align the top of the knob flush with the cover, so the

knob won't rub your clothes. Fix it to the desired length with a small

drop of glue on the trimmer.

SET UP

Booster's gain is is set from the Gain knob. It starts by default from

Unity Gain and goes up to +20dB of amplification. The variation is

logarithmic.

IN OPERATION

BECOS Micro Booster is configured for clean flat boost in all audio

spectrum. Each playing style or gear setup change may require

booster setting adjustments, because everything interacts with each

other. Gain knob sets the amplification bias; it acts like a volume, but

is not a volume control. During swipe, static noise can be heard - this

is normal. It happens because the amplification level (gain) is

adjusting on-the-fly. This behavior is a minor compromise for a

greater good: to minimize amplification noise at any gain level!

When signal is routed through booster (engaged), a modestly gained

clean channel of an amp gets louder, pushing the break-up. Engaging

the Micro Boost in front of an amp set on a cranked channel puts

you in the spotlight instantly. The higher the gain set on the amp, the

more fat & saturated distortion you get, with increased sustain and

plenty of warm harmonics. On high gain, booster's effect is less

obvious in volume, yet more obvious in creamy saturation overdrive,

due to amp's natural compression. You will most likely feel that you

can play faster and easier.
