The Adventure Audio Power Couple is a double boost with one switch, a pedal that puts two boost stages in a single box and runs them from a single footswitch. It was presented as a new pedal at Summer NAMM in 20171.
What it does
The Power Couple gives you two boosts, each with its own volume control. The Huge knob controls the volume of the first boost, and the LED knob controls the volume of the second1. That lets a player set two different boost levels and reach for them from one pedal rather than two.
The footswitch handles everything. A tap engages or bypasses the pedal. Holding it for 200 milliseconds, a fifth of a second, brings in More mode: the LED knob illuminates and the pedal adds more gain on top of the already boosted signal1.
"it's a double boost with one switch"
For a player, the layout means one switch covers clean-boost duty and a gain push without a second unit on the board. It sits among boost pedals generally, and Adventure Audio's later Glacial Zenith V2 also carries a boost stage alongside its drive and EQ1.
Demo
Delicious Audio's 2017 Summer NAMM report included a first demo of the Power Couple by Living Room Gear, played on a Gibson CS R4 guitar into a Tone King 20th Anniversary Imperial amp, with Toaster Cables and Mulder Audio patch cables1.

Questions
What does the Power Couple do?
It is a double boost with one switch: two separate boost stages, each with its own volume control, in a single pedal. The Huge knob sets the volume of the first boost and the LED knob sets the volume of the second. Tapping the footswitch engages or bypasses the pedal, and holding it for 200 milliseconds brings in More mode, which adds more gain on top of the already boosted signal.
