TC Electronic Spark Boost Pedal

This second hand guitar pedal is in very good condition

The TC Electronic Spark Booster is one of the most versatile and musical boost pedals ever made. It can be a clean boost, a gritty drive, a tone‑shaper, or a full‑on preamp. With its active EQ, gain control, and three‑way voicing switch, it’s far more flexible than most boosts

.A multi‑purpose boost/drive pedal featuring:

• Up to +26 dB of clean boost
• Gain control for adding grit
• Active Bass and Treble EQ
• 3‑way voicing switch (Clean / Fat / Mid)
• True bypass
• Compact, rugged enclosure

Tone & Character

1. Clean Boost

With Gain low and Level high, the Spark delivers a transparent, noise‑free boost that:

• Lifts solos
• Adds clarity
• Pushes tube amps into natural breakup
• Enhances dynamics

It’s one of the cleanest, most musical boosts in its class.

2. Gain Boost / Low‑Gain Drive

Turn up the Gain and the Spark becomes a warm, gritty overdrive:

• Smooth clipping
• Amp‑like breakup
• Great for blues and classic rock
• Stacks beautifully with other drives

It never gets fizzy or harsh.

3. Active EQ

The Bass and Treble knobs are powerful:

• Tighten flubby amps
• Add sparkle to dark pickups
• Warm up bright single coils
• Shape your tone like a mini‑preamp

 Voicing Switch

Clean

• Transparent
• No added colour
• Perfect for boosting without altering your core tone

Fat

• Adds low‑end warmth
• Thickens single coils
• Great for beefing up rhythm parts or making leads fuller

Mid

• Pushes the midrange forward
• Cuts through a mix
• Ideal for solos or tightening high‑gain amps

This switch alone makes the Spark more versatile than most boosts.

Real‑World Use 

1. As a Solo Boost

The Spark excels here.
It lifts your volume without changing your tone—unless you want it to.

2. As a Preamp / Always‑On Pedal

Many players use it as a tone enhancer:

• Slight bass cut
• Slight treble lift
• Mild gain
• Clean mode

It adds clarity, punch, and presence.

3. Stacking with Drives

The Spark is one of the best stacking pedals available:

• Before drives → more gain, more saturation
• After drives → more volume, more cut

It plays well with Tube Screamers, RATs, Klons, and amp‑in‑a‑box pedals.

4. Tightening High‑Gain Amps

In Mid mode with Bass slightly cut, it tightens the low end and adds attack—similar to a TS but more transparent.

5. Boosting Clean Amps

Perfect for country, funk, worship, and pop players who want extra sparkle and headroom.
