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

output connector of the instrument.

1. Draw your present wiring on a piece of paper.

2. Prepare a diagram for booster installation before doing any

unsolderings. Start with the provided wiring diagrams on 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 TRS plug.

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. You may use it for attenuation as well.

If you want to take the Gain knob trough front pickguard, the hole

has to be 6 mm diameter and is to be 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. Take out the knob through pickguard as much as

needed.

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.

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, even in all

audio spectrum. Each playing style or gear setup change may

require booster setting adjustments, because everything interacts

with each other.

When 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.
