The Little Red Box of Magic!

Don't let the simplicity of this little red devil fool you... it delivers so much more! As the sign it is named after, the Scorpio Super Boost! is complex and harbors many secrets fro your guitar or bass.

As with many great inventions of the past, the Scorpio was created by accident. While designing a gain stage discreetly for another pedal, Dom inadvertently installed a wrong component, not generally used in effects designs, into the bread board circuit but was pleasantly surprised when he heard the results. He knew instantly that this simple circuit delivered something really special.

It was decided not to use this circuit design in the other pedal, but rather to develop a single pedal around it. Originally dubbed "The Secret Weapon", Dom was reserving the Scorpio name for his favorite pedal and this circuit was chosen to represent that sign. Can you guess what Dom's sign is?

From the moment you turn it on, it will add a new aural dimension to your tone you thought was not possible, an "exciter" per say, but it does not end there. Crank the knob, turn up the volume and hold on for the ride, this one goes to 11.

The Scorpio Super Boost! does not easily fit into one category. It emits elements of a boost, fuzz and an overdrive/distortion in a small, simple package. With the gain control set all the way off or counterclockwise, the output signal will be virtually one to one to the guitar signal but with a slight treble/mid boost.

With the gain at 100%, the Scorpio provides a very large, treble/mid predominant tone with a hint of fuzz that teeters on the edge of distortion.

Many users have commented that the Scorpio Super Boost delivers a very Jimmy Page style tone that is very crisp, with nicely layered harmonics.

Since its introduction, countless guitarists and bassists have permanently added the Scorpio to their pedalboards and refuse to give them up. Many have ordered an additional one or two Scorpios as well. This way, one is always ON to achieve the "excited" fidelity Scorpio delivers, one used at the start of the signal chain to "push" other pedals into submission and a third, at the end of the signal chain, is used to boost during leads and solos.

The Scorpio can also be used as a preamp into other pedals with very harmonically stunning results.

Built like a tank using the best components available, including an all metal powder coated enclosure, encapsulated main board, CTS pots and Switchcraft jacks. Totally hand built, this pedal will keep you rocking for many years to come.

Celestial Effects recommends the use of a HIGH QUALITY 9 VDC regulated power adapter with the Scorpio Super Boost! pedal like the Carl Martin Powerjack 9VDC power supply or similar. This power supply is capable of providing 1000 mA of power and is noise free. The more the capacity of the power supply, the less chance of noise and hum due to a power supply being pushed to its current capability limits.

All Celestial Effects pedals are hand built and individually hand tested in Hudson, MA by a company that cares about quality, durability and value. We back all our products with our 30 DAY NO QUESTIONS ASKED MONEY BACK GUARANTEE
