Using the Clean Boost

The Unity6 includes a post-loop clean boost — it sits after the six loops so your analog pedals stay at unity until you kick the boost for solos or level matching.

Amounts

Choose 3 dB, 5 dB, 7 dB, 9 dB, or 12 dB of clean boost when you program Boost On or Toggle Boost.

Message types

Use these like any other message on a switch, the BPM dial, or Bank Send:

  • Boost On — turns the boost on at the selected amount — Boost On
  • Boost Off — turns the boost off — Boost Off
  • Toggle Boost — flips boost on/off at the selected amount — Toggle Boost

Visual indicator

From firmware v2.3.0 onward, a red LED shows when the boost is on or off so you can see status at a glance.

Typical setups

  • Assign Toggle Boost to a switch (or a Trio switch via Global / Override) for a solo bump.
  • Put Boost Off in Bank Send so every song starts clean, then engage boost only when you need it.
  • Pair boost with loop/MIDI changes in the same preset if a solo also needs a different scene.

Tips

  • Because the boost is post-loop, drive/dirt in the loops is not re-gained by the boost the same way a pre-dirt boost would — it’s for overall level after your chain.
  • If the LED doesn’t match what you hear after an old backup restore, re-send Boost On/Off once or power-cycle after updating past v2.3.0.
