Our take

Who this one is for

The Buxom Boost is a clean boost named after Friedman's Buxom Betty head. The Boost knob sets how much level you add, for pushing the front of a tube amp into overdrive, lifting a solo above the band, or evening out two guitars with different outputs. An active three-band EQ sits after it: Bass and Mid boost, Treble boosts or cuts.

Flip the EQ Bypass switch and the EQ comes out of the circuit, leaving a straight volume lift that doesn't change your sound. The Tight control is there for when the boost makes a tube amp's low end loose. Friedman says the circuit is quiet enough for acoustic-electric guitars too.

It takes 9V or 18V, and the higher voltage gives it more headroom. Built in the USA. Among the Friedman pedals here, this is the clean one: the BE-OD, Dirty Shirley and Smallbox add their own drive, and the Sir Compre adds compression with a gain knob of its own.

Questions we get

How much do I pay today?

Your choice: the full price, or a 25% deposit. On a deposit, the balance is due when the guitar reaches the shop, before it ships to you. A deposit is paid by card or PayPal. Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay can't take one.

When will it arrive?

It varies by product, anywhere from two weeks up to several months. If you'd like a date for this model first, ask us in the chat and we'll check with the supplier before you order. If you're ready now, go ahead: we confirm the ETA by email once your order is in, and if it changes, we let you know and you can cancel.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time before the supplier invoices it and ships it to us. We refund what you paid less 3% to cover the card processing fee.

Once it has shipped to us it is a special order and final sale. If it arrives with something wrong, we put that right.

What if the price goes up before it arrives?

You pay the price you ordered at. Once your order is placed we hold that price, even if the supplier raises it before the guitar arrives.

Is the free setup included?

Yes. A pre-order is an online order, so it gets the same free setup: it crosses our bench before it ships, set up the way you choose. The setup menu above shows what that covers.

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before the instrument leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

Can I finance it?

Yes, if you are in Canada and paying in full. Pick PayPlan by RBC or Shop Pay Installments as your payment method at checkout. The plan, the rate and the approval sit with the provider, and you see the terms before you agree to anything. You pay a deposit by card or PayPal.
