The TC Electronic Rush, listed by the maker as the Rush Booster, is a boost pedal made by TC Electronic1. A boost pedal's job is simple: it raises the level of your guitar signal, either to push an amp or another pedal harder into overdrive, or to make your playing louder for solos and lead lines without changing your base tone.
TC Electronic also makes the Spark and Spark Mini boost pedals, which sit in the same category. Where a boost differs from an overdrive, distortion or fuzz pedal is that it aims to add volume and push rather than generate clipping of its own, though pushing a tube amp with one will drive the amp into breakup.
What it does
The Rush Booster raises the output level of your signal. TC Electronic lists it on its product pages as a booster pedal1. Players commonly use a boost in three ways: in front of an already-breaking-up amp for more gain and sustain, in front of an overdrive pedal to tighten and intensify it, or on its own for a volume lift when a part needs to cut through.
