With one knob and one function, the Rocktron Nitro Booster/Enhancer Pedal makes tweaking your sound easy to do. Most guitar players are happy with their sound but, like a race car driver, they are always seeking that extra edge that pushes it over the top. The Nitro effect pedal gives you that edge. It offers over 22dB of gain for intense signal boosting and enhances articulation with soft compression.

The Nitro guitar pedal will turn decent amp distortion into great amp distortion, make harmonic squeals easier to achieve, and broaden your pickups' range-all in one simple tool with a single control for boost and a single switch to kick you into that hot zone.

Rocktron Nitro Booster/Enhancer Pedal Features:

  • 22dB of gain
  • Soft compression
  • Single Boost control knob
  • Single footswitch button for activation

High-octane sonic fuel in a stomp box. Order the Nitro today!

A Great

This pedal is really amazing. It's a great "sleeper" product that will make your guitar and amp sound better than every. I play mostly Strat style guitars and like a little extra kick to the output. This pedal provides that and more. I have a nice MXR compressor and use it a lot but this pushes your tone and sound over the edge with even great clarity. I also use a BBE Sonic Stomp and this has some similarities in that is seems to make your notes more articulate and clearer in the mix. It has a tremendous amount of gain boost that you have to be careful with but if you're conservative about how you adjust the one knob, it will really improve your sound. If your pickups or set up is noisy and you kick the gain way up, you will indeed get lots of that noise amplified, but, again, use it carefully and it's great. If you can find it on sale, grab it!

Edge + Sustain

This is a great little pedal especially at the clearance price. I had just dumped all my active EMG equipped guitars for a some with REAL pickups. The pedal puts just enough edge and sustain back when you need it. I haven’t missed the active pickups at all with this puppy in front of my tube head.

I bought this pedal because I just bought a harmony man pitch shifter that set me back a bit and wanted a cheap boost effect,I have been using the same rig for the last 7 years and never a problem,my last 2 gigs my rig totally cut out,so it's either the pedal or the new chord I bought to hook the harmony man to the booster,the bottom line in this thing adds way to much gain to my sound,you can't get away for it,I play blues and rock and my line 6 gives me any sound I want,way lame,sent it back, I bought the mxr 401. cheers

Excellent! Delivers the Goods!

This pedal does EXACTLY what the description says. It boosts the gain and adds a bit of compression.

I would best describe its' functions as: tightens up your tone, without losing the charicteristics of your specific amp, and boosts and tightens your amps gain.

It will give your amp extra crunch and expand the overall tone. If you have an amp that sounds good, yet the distortion is lacking a bit - this is the pedal for you.

Great value, great brand (Rocktron), cool looks, heavy duty construction, excellent performance - the only negative is that it will add a bit more noise to your sound. A noise gate should be used with this pedal. But most people who care about tone usually have one, so this shouldn't be a big issue.

A pedal that works well.

For the money, you can't beat this thing. It provides a good boost to your sound, and makes your amp sound a lot better. It's like running an EQ pedal and a compressor, but in the easiest way possible. I'm buying another one of these to give to my brother for his birthday.

Only downside to it is you get more feedback and you turn up the boost. It's nothing unbearable. I shut it off between songs.
