MND-1
/ Pablo Mondello BOOSTER
A booster designed to shine in complex sonic contexts. Transparent in tone, yet with a clearly defined functionality that allows it to adapt to a wide range of audio situations. This is what Pablo asked us for: a booster that could raise his overall level without compromising any tonal characteristics, and that would respond reliably in dense audio scenarios—on the effects loop, through layers upon layers of distortion—while adding a distinctive touch of brilliance to the refined yet crushing sound that defines his playing.

Controls
BOOST: amount of gain, from 0 dB (unity gain) up to 15 dB
6dB MORE: fine adjustment with an additional 6 dB of gain TREBLE: -side control- high-frequency roll-off that can compensate for the perceived increase in treble as the volume is raised BUFFER: -side control- this switch enables/disables Buffer Bypass. When active, the signal passes through a carefully designed buffer circuit that allows long cables and complex setups to be used without signal loss. When set to True Bypass, the sound remains unaltered when the effect is disengagedBasic functions and operation of the booster

Technology
The MND-1 was conceived together with Pablo Mondello (from the outstanding band Massacre) as a clean gain tool capable of standing out even in dense and demanding sonic environments. Its design is based on the premise of increasing volume without altering the character of the instrument or losing definition, even when used within complex signal chains and distorted signals.
To achieve this, before amplifying the signal, the circuit applies a voltage boost to the power supply, significantly increasing the available headroom. This architecture allows the pedal to deliver up to 21 dB of clean gain while keeping the low- and high-frequency response intact, avoiding unwanted compression and saturation.
The amplification core is built around a high-performance operational amplifier, chosen for its low noise level and its ability to handle complex signals. Even at maximum boost, the pedal preserves the dynamics, detail, and harmonic structure of the original sound.
The circuit is completed with a subtle treble control, which provides a high-frequency roll-off to compensate for the perceived increase in brightness that naturally occurs as volume is raised, and with a True / Buffer Bypass selector, allowing the pedal to be used as an active buffer when the setup requires it, preserving signal integrity across long cable runs or extensive effect chains.
