TC Electronic Spark
At first glance the TC Electronic Spark Booster looks like it may function as a very vanilla clean boost pedal. Fortunately TC put some bells and whistles into this pedal that make it really fun to play and especially fun to record with.
I tested it out while recording an artist that I work with named Jordan Cooper while tracking guitars for his upcoming full length album at The Buddy Project Recording Studio.
As one would expect from TC Electronic, the build of this pedal is solid yet small enough to fit into a pedalboard without taking up unnecessary real estate. The controls consist of a level and gain knob as well as a low and high EQ knob. There is a switch in the middle of the pedal that adjusts the nature of the EQ from fat, clean and mid boost.
All three variables are very useful but the fat selection was a position that I kept returning to. For the recording session our goal was to track some nasty, dirty rhythm guitars to bolster pre-existing clean guitars. We used a Gibson Les Paul 72’ through a Vox AC15 amplifier.
