Monty's Guitars More!

The Monty's Guitars More! is a dual boost pedal built around two independent 15dB JFET gain stages, each with a single volume knob. It was designed in collaboration with Steve Crow of Audio Kitchen and launched by Monty's Guitars in October 2021 alongside a smaller companion pedal, the A Little More!¹.

What it does

Each of the two gain stages uses JFET transistors, which Guitar.com describes as giving "a lively, characterful feel reminiscent of the front end of a tube amplifier"¹. Because the stages are independent, the pedal can work as two separate boosts on one board, or the second stage can be used to push the first for more level and gain. With two 15dB stages, the pedal offers up to 30dB of boost when the stages are stacked, according to Guitar.com's report on the launch¹.

The controls are deliberately minimal: a single volume knob per stage, with no tone or gain controls¹.

Versions and availability

The More! was designed in collaboration with Steve Crow of Audio Kitchen and launched by Monty's Guitars as one of two new boost pedals, each making use of JFET transistors for what the maker describes as "a lively, characterful feel reminiscent of the front end of a tube amplifier"¹. It listed for £160, a UK list price from October 2021¹.

A later version of the pedal, the More! More! Moore!, has since been discontinued, according to its product page. That page describes its sounds as "designed with the 1980's era in mind"².

The More! More! Moore! version is listed as discontinued². The original More! was a 2021 release, so used-market availability may be the practical route for players looking for either version.

Questions

What is the difference between the More! and the A Little More!?

The A Little More! is a smaller companion pedal that carries just one side of the More! in a smaller enclosure, using only one of the two 15dB JFET gain stages. The More! has both stages, so it can be used as two separate boosts or stacked for more gain.

Can the More! run at 18V?

Yes. Alongside the standard 9V supply, the More! can run at 18V, which Guitar.com notes is for some extra headroom. Players who want the pedal to stay cleaner at higher volumes may find that useful.
