Founded by Alex Saraceno, Dirty Boy Pedals built its reputation one pedal at a time with handcrafted designs that blended vintage inspiration with original circuit refinements. Among the company's most celebrated creations was the Ball Buster, a boutique boost pedal prized for its touch-sensitive response, dynamic amp interaction, and ability to push clean tones into rich British-style breakup, natural compression, and fuzz-inspired saturation. Dirty Boy partnered with Warm Audio to faithfully recreate the acclaimed Ball Buster circuit in the Dirty Boy Jr. Booster, bringing its sought-after tone and feel to more players in a compact, pedalboard-friendly format.
The Dirty Boy Jr. Booster captures everything players love about the original Ball Buster while adding the versatility needed for today's rigs. Premium all-analog circuitry delivers up to 10 dB of high-headroom boost with exceptional touch sensitivity and dynamic response, while naturally transitioning into British-style breakup, compression, and fuzz-inspired saturation as the gain increases. Dedicated Gain, Treble, and Bass controls pair with the signature H-M-L "Freq" switch to shape low-end response for tighter rhythms, balanced articulation, or thicker lead tones across a wide variety of guitars, amplifiers, and pedalboards. True bypass operation, authentic Dirty Boy styling, and rugged road-ready construction complete a pedal built to “master” your signal on any stage or in any studio.
