About the Masamune
a powerful, all-in-one analog booster and compressor pedal built for guitarists who demand flexibility, control, and tone finesse. Housed in a rugged metal chassis, Masamune combines two essential signal-shaping tools into a single stompbox, giving you everything you need to sculpt your sound before it hits your amp or effects chain.
Whether you’re chasing richer sustain, tighter dynamics, or an extra push of clean boost, Masamune delivers. Engage the Boost section to deepen your tone and add character, sculpt your top end with a Hi-Cut filter, or dive into the Compressor side to even out dynamics and sustain notes with clarity. With internal routing options and a remote-switch input, this pedal fits seamlessly anywhere on your board — from pristine clean tones to saturated overdrive rigs.
Product Features
Dual-function design — Booster + Compressor
Two core tone tools in one unit, letting you decide on the fly whether to boost your signal, compress it, or use both.
Dedicated controls for each function:
Boost section — Boost Level, Drive, and a Hi-Cut toggle for shaping and coloring your signal.
Compressor section — Komp Level, Sustain, Blend, and Clip controls give you precise management over compression amount, sustain length, wet/dry signal mix, and clipping behavior.
Flexible internal routing
You can run Boost and Compression in parallel, chain one into the other, or engage only one at a time — giving you maximum routing flexibility on your pedalboard.
External footswitch jack
Adds convenience if you want to control the pedal with a remote switch — perfect for live performance or complex pedalboard setups.
Pure analog signal path
Ensures the cleanest, most natural tone — great for guitarists seeking transparent, dynamic sound.
Compact, durable construction
With compact size and a sturdy metal housing, Masamune is built to survive gigging and frequent use.
Professional-grade specs: Frequency response 20 Hz–20 kHz (±1 dB), low noise (THD+N), strong dynamic range — ensuring your tone stays clear and full.
