Boost Guitar Pedals uses Royal Mail for all domestic deliveries and UPS for international deliveries.
UPDATE – As of 13th December 2024, we are
regrettably no longer able to ship to customers located within the EU or Northern Ireland, due to new GPSR regulations which make it prohibitively expensive for small businesses to operate in the zone.
UPDATE 2 – As of 10th April 2025, we are still shipping to the USA. Please note that due to the volatile political situation relating to tariffs, we may have to cease offering shipping here at short notice.
We offer free 24-hour tracked UK delivery on all orders over £150! Order before 9pm for next-working-day dispatch.
We offer 30-day hassle-free returns so you can pick the item you want safe in the knowledge that if it's not for you, we'll take it back and refund your order.
International deliveries are subject to additional import duties and VAT at your local rate. These charges are payable to the courier at time of delivery. Calculate how much you will need to pay here.

To be eligible for a return, the item must be in the same condition

It is recommended that items should be returned using a trackable shipping service in case the item goes missing en route.
The Formula B Blue Breakers is not just inspired by the 1991 Marshall Blues Breaker pedal, it is the 1991 Marshall Blues Breaker pedal!
Marco took his own original and spent months analysing the circuit and sourcing components, so his Blue Breaker is as accurate in its details as it's possible to be. The only nod to modernity here is that the Formula B version is true bypass.
Marco told me he doesn't expect to make many more of these, as the components are getting harder and harder to find - including the high-headroom Motorola TL072CP op-amp, axial capacitors and carbon resistors.
This is as close as you'll get to the original, and Marco has done a great job not only with the circuit but also with the enclosure. It's mindboggling!
The Blue Breakers will add sweetness and raunch to your core tone, with enough crunch for rhythm and push for solos, all the while emphasising those precious harmonics.
Marco usefully includes some settings to try out, including John Mayer's settings!
Gain Adjusts amount of gain, from subtle distortion to vintage balls-to-the-wall!
Tone Adjusts the EQ, from rich, creamy and bassy to lively and biting.
Volume Adjusts the output level. Turn up to drive your amp or run at lower volumes into a distorted channel.
