Fire-Eye Development Bright-Eye Clean Boost / Buffer Pedal Review
Do good things come in small packages? In this particular case, the old saying is true. The Bright-Eye clean boost pedal from Fire-Eye Development is an essential pedal for doing any number of good things to your sound depending on your mood or requirements. There’s a few ways you can utilise the Bright-Eye:
- Before another drive or fuzz pedal as a gain boost
- After another drive or fuzz pedal as a volume boost while retaining the tone
- The two options toggle switch can change the vibe from straight clean boost to vintage clean boost
- The buffer will fix any top end loss by running longer cables

So far, I have really only tried two volume boost pedals that I would gig with and the bright eye would be one of them. The other volume boost pedal I really love is the Maxon Dual Boost pedal which is also a two in one clean boost. The benefit of the Bright-Eye is the small footprint of the pedal. I could fit it on my pedalboard no problems at all and for those interested, I am running it after my overdrives for a volume kick. This is a great pedal from Fire-Eye Development.
