ZEUS HIGH VOLTAGE BOOST
Through the will of the mighty ZEUS, BLACKHAWK brings you 250 volts of amp input crushing volume.
If you’ve ever tried an amp that has a built in MOSFET boost running at high voltage (usually around 250v!⚡️) you probably thought to yourself “this sounds AMAZING! The headroom articulation and clarity are incredible!”
The touch response, attack and compression are all shockingly tube-like.
The LND150 MOSFET Gain stage is DC coupled with a second MOSFET “source follower” to create both low impedance and high output
The unique “boost converter” power supply was originally designed to power tubes from a low voltage.
It takes in over 200ma of current at 9V and transforms that into almost 250v at low current (only a few milliamps) because of this:
DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING INSIDE THE PEDAL WHILE IT IS PLUGGED IN
*while the current is very low at the higher voltage, it’s still dangerous for people with a pacemaker or heart condition.*
///////////////////////////////////////////////
D = Depth. Clockwise becomes tighter and brighter, while counter clockwise becomes thicker to the point of an almost fuzz like saturation at high gain.
🔱 = Gain. At low to mid settings the output is quite transparent but as you crank it the dual, interconnected mosfets start to clip.
V = Volume. Sets the low impedance output for up to 22db clean and over 40db with overdrive.

All BLACKHAWK pedals and preamps are true bypass and standard “one spot style” 9v, Negative tip, 2.1mm barrel.
9V ONLY!! DO NOT USE HIGHER VOTAGE PLEASE
CURRENT DRAW MORE THAN 200MA!! USE THE 300MA OUTPUT ON YOUR POWER SUPPLY
