My Boost Over You is a boost/preamp hybrid pedal from Oneder Effects, developed with Chad Gilbert of New Found Glory. The maker describes it as more than just a boost, calling it a full-spectrum tone sculptor: it tightens up high-gain amps, adds sparkling clarity, and gives full control over presence and chug1. The artwork is inspired by the Sticks and Stones album art, and the maker says the circuit was finely tuned after conversations, research, and studio visits with Gilbert himself1.
Controls
The pedal's flexible EQ section is built around three knobs and a toggle, so it works as both a clean level boost and a tone-shaping preamp1.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Lows | Boost or cut low end from your signal |
| Highs | Boost or cut treble from your signal |
| Level | The output level or overall volume; cranking it adds more gain when boosting your amp |
| Mid Boost toggle | Down for flat frequency response, up for an active boost in the high-mids |
The Mid Boost toggle is the pedal's quick presence switch: flat response when you want the amp's own voicing untouched, a high-mid lift when a riff needs to cut through1.
The pedal runs on 9V DC center negative power only, so it needs a standard center negative supply rather than any other voltage or polarity1.
The Black special edition
Alongside the standard White version1, Oneder Effects offers a special edition Black version with alternate artwork inspired by Sticks and Stones1. The first run of this special edition was limited to 50 pedals, each hand-numbered1. Later units are no longer hand-numbered and are no longer part of the prototype run1.
Where it came from
The maker positions the pedal as inspired by the classic tones that drive albums like Sticks and Stones (2002), the New Found Glory record whose artwork both versions carry12. It sits in Oneder Effects' line of artist-designed pedals, alongside the Oneder Effects HW-2, the Less Than Jake Signature Pedal, and the Anberlin Old Blue Overdrive.

Questions
Who designed the Oneder Effects My Boost Over You?
Oneder Effects developed the pedal with Chad Gilbert of New Found Glory. The maker says the circuit was finely tuned after conversations, research, and studio visits with Gilbert, and the pedal's artwork draws on the band's Sticks and Stones album art from 2002.
What does the Mid Boost toggle do?
The Mid Boost toggle has two positions. Toggled down it gives a flat frequency response, and toggled up it applies an active boost in the high-mids, which players can use to add presence to a high-gain amp tone.
Does My Boost Over You use a relay bypass?
Yes. The pedal uses a clickless relay bypass footswitch, so switching it in and out of the signal chain happens without the mechanical click of a conventional footswitch.
What power supply does My Boost Over You need?
The pedal runs on 9V DC center negative power only. It has no battery option mentioned by the maker, so a standard 9V DC center negative pedal power supply is required.
How many Black special edition pedals were made?
The first run of the special edition Black version was limited to 50 pedals, each hand-numbered. Later units are no longer hand-numbered and are no longer part of the prototype run.
