A counter-force mechanism (37), which produces a counter force when a brake booster is operated, is made up of an input-side member (38) slidably disposed within a valve body (3), a second constant-pressure chamber (39) formed on the rear side of the input-side member and into which a pressure is introduced from a constant pressure chamber (A), and a second constant-pressure chamber (39) formed on the front side of the input-side member and into which a pressure is introduced from a variable pressure chamber (B). The counter force from the counter-force mechanism (37) is reduced by an orifice passage (43) as a counter-force reducing means in rapid operation of the brake.
