Suitable for use with Ironstone or other pickup system, this guitar pre-amp / multi overdrive effects PCB is designed for on-board guitar installation. Powered by a standard PP3 9V battery (not supplied) giving between 1000-2000 hours of use, this easy to install pre-amp mounts through a 9mm (approx) diameter body or scratchplate hole.
Easy to install withjust some basic soldering skill, these little wonders will protect and enhance your guitar’s tone no matter what pickups you use as well as giving you a range of distortion / drive tones at the turn of a knob. For example, on a Stratocaster style guitar, simply replace one of the tone pots with this rotary switch (using your existing knob) and reconfigure the remaining tone control as a ‘master’ tone – circuit diagram included with each item. The photos includea typical pre-amp installation for a Stratocaster style guitar, using different coloured wires to give an easy reference and with the unit in place of the Neck tone pot (the remaining tone pot is configured to control the Neck and Middle).
A switched Stereo jack socket to allow the unit to be powered only when a (normal) guitar jack / lead is inserted

Non UK customers will be advised of an additional small postal charge during the checkout process(see Shop page for current charges). Please also note that since the UK left the EU Customs Union on January 1st 2021, all items posted to the EU will be subject to EU customs checks. As of July 1st 2021, EU VAT rule changes will mean that EU customers may also be subject to VAT payments.
Note; It is suggested when switching from passive to active modes on the guitar pre-amp FX unit, (first to second switch position), to first turn down the guitar volume. This will eliminate any small switch over noise.
So first up, many thanks for a great (extended) video from Jeremy Broun (JB Custom Guitar). A fine woodworker, builder of acoustic instruments, and a keen supporter of mixing acoustic and electronic ‘technology’.

The following sound clips give a sense of the tonal changes stepping through the switch positions. The recordings were madevia GarageBand on the ‘Clean Combo’ setting, with tone controls at Bright. No effects are used other than the pre-ampunit. The recording process naturally tends to equalise out some of the gain changes described on the settings above.
Maybe you like the idea of active electronics in a Strat’ but don’t fancy the idea of burying a battery under the scratchplate?
Well check out this neat solution from Ironstone customer Gus Hunnybun. Using 2 springs for the trem., a PP3 battery fits perfectly in a normal Strat’ trem. cavity. A bit of velcro or double sided tape to hold it in place, and some foam for a tight fit under the back plate, this is easy battery change personified! It just needs the battery clip leads to be extended through the normal access hole, or a larger aperture cut as the photo. Worth investing in a robust pair of steel springs rather than the weaker alloy jobs that are often stock, to ensure the whole set-up process keeps integrity.

No matter how great your pickups and guitar are, the effects of electrical loading due to the guitar cable, stomp boxes and amplifiers can be devastating on tone, particularly loss of treble ‘brightness’ (see the ironstone guide to Impedance Matching ). The most effective way of minimising these losses is to use a buffer guitar pre-amp at the point the signal leaves your guitar. Using surface mount technology, that is exactly what the Clean Boost setting is designed for. The difference the Clean Boost setting will make in preserving your guitar’s tone is enough to justify the cost of this device on its own! But there’s more! On top of the bypass and sparkling Clean Boost tones, you also have access to 3 increasing levels of drive / distortion. These range from ‘just breaking up’ blues (i.e single notes are relatively clean, chords and double stops just break) to a full bore Heavy Metal distortion setting with masses of bottom end grunt as well, by way of a solid 70’s classic rock distortion effect. And just like in a good multi-stage amplifier, your guitars volume control effectively becomes the ‘gain’ knob, allowing you even more control of when and how strongly the drive / distortion effects kick in. it really is like having a set of stomp boxes in your guitar!The units built in rotary switch gives 5 modes;
True-bypass; can be used even without a battery connected (or in case of a flat battery) to revert to the normal guitar tone
While the gain steps between each setting are fixed, a small user adjustable pot on the device allows tailoring of the gain of position 2 (relative to the true bypass setting). This is initially factory set, allowing the unit to be used ‘out of the box’, but users can alter the position 2 Clean Boost to be at the same level as the bypass, or with a level of initial boost.

It is suggested when switching from passive to active modes (first to second switch position), to first turn down the guitar volume. This will eliminate any small switch over noise.The Micro Booster MK4 Onboard Guitar Preamp takes the magnetic pickup’s signal and delivers a controllable boost that can push a guitar amplifier into solo mode on-the-fly. An integrated two-bands EQ performs soft tonal correction and lets you use it as a Clean Flat Boost, Mid Boost, Treble Boost, Boosted V-Cut, etc.
The BECOS Micro Booster MK4 Onboard Guitar Preamp can be installed in any guitar or bass to boost the signal from passive magnetic pickups. It can be powered with one 9V standard alkaline battery or two batteries connected in series for 18V increased headroom. The booster is powered as soon as the instrument cable TS mono plug is inserted into the instrument output. With very low power consumption, the booster can run for months.
Built with monolithic amplifiers employing bipolar technology with innovative high-performance concepts for pristine audio, the Micro Booster MK4 has an exceptional frequency response and extremely low noise & distortion. This is an exact replica of the preamp section designed for our CompIQ TWAIN dual-band compressor.

The Micro Booster MK4 integrates a Baxandall correction stack which adds flexibility for independent tonal tweaking of Lows and Highs – frequency pivot centered around 720Hz. With mild adjustability of +/-9dB at 70Hz and 2.5KHz before the 0-16dB variable general Gain, it can be configured as a Clean Flat Boost or Mid Boost, Treble Boost, Lows Boost, Boosted V-Cut, etc. without going into extremes. With tone knobs centered, the boost is completely flat.
The Micro Booster MK4 can be optionally configured with a linear B500K switch-pot (used with humbuckers) or with a linear B250K switch-pot (used with single coils) which can be soldered directly on the circuit board. The potentiometer side of the switch-pot is not part of the booster’s circuit, it only replaces a potentiometer in your instrument (volume or tone) while adding the convenience of a signal routing switch on top of it. The mechanical PUSH-PUSH switch side of the switch-pot routes the signal through the booster (switch UP) or sends it True Bypassed straight to the output (switch DOWN).
The basic interconnecting wires, battery holder, battery clip, and a new TRS output connector are supplied along with the uBST4 board and the Push-Push switch-pot.

Several shortcut points are added on the circuit board to eliminate the usage of some wires when reconnecting the replaced potentiometer. Insertion points are also available for a neat transfer of the guitar Tone Capacitor directly on the booster’s board. The Micro Booster MK4 is pin-compatible with MK3.
