fravorite Boost pedal

[Cleveland Metal]

I build mine into my guitar. EMG PA-2.

Robert Keeley TS-9DX Flexi. Awesome pedal, I don't really use it for a clean boost any more since I put in a set of 6L6's into my amp, but I like to use it to smoothen out my lead tone.

i use a boss hyper-fuzz (sometimes) set to clean boost into my rivera m-100 or s-120. i use it on gigs when my technique is suffering

BK Tube Driver.

Although I would like to try the AC Booster one day...

Maxon OD-9

I use an SD-1 right now, but I have a Yngwie pedal on the way. Anyone ever used one?

Its basically the same as the DOD 250. Its a great pedal for slamming your preamp tubes in the mouth and it works equally as good in the effects loop as a boost.
It only works well with tube amps though.

Any Bad Monkey users ever try the Death Metal version..it has a three band eq section..that may be would be too hairy for what I'm looking for..unless I use it on the clean channel I never use..

My JMP-1 has a "classic" Marshall gain..not nearly as heavy as the Uber..but due to the diode clipping ..it's very harmonic friendly..making pinch harmonics a breeze...I can squeal any note with that thing..

John's bud mods pedals..my friend uses it for everything..his sound is basically that moded pedal into anything he plays thru..a TS-9 I think.

The BBE Clean Boost suppose to not color the sound..but I haven't found anything that doesn't when putting it in the chain..

Well, The EMG PA-2 preamp does NOT color the sound... Strictly a (somewhat) high end Mini amplifier. Very flat response.

I know it makes a difference when activated..definitely more "oomph".

I loved the active pups is my G & L Basses.. they were very hot ..and I NEVER played them passive.

I have a Tube Screamer TS-7 (my fave of the bunch, very versatile), a Blues Driver (very subtle) and a Heavy Metal (not really an OD, more of a distortion and fuzz, but it can also be used as a clean boost). I play blues and classic metal. My main amp is a Soldano Astroverb.

Boss GE-7 works great and very adjustable. I am using a Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster pedal right now and it is really nice. It does not color the sound to much at all. Pain in the ass to change a battery though. You have to take the pedal apart. The tones rock though. Gives a huge DB boost which is awesome with a tube amp. Works ok with the Line 6 I have but works better with a tube amp. These both can be used for clean or od stuff too. That makes them winners in my book.
The silver mod Analog man Tubescreamer was a good one for me too. Transparent enough and gave a good searing lead tone. I like the Boss SD1 too but it colors your tone alot and is not really transparent at all. You know when it is on to say the least. Either you like it or you dont I guess.

I use the bad monkey in combination with my mesa stiletto. I can pretty much nail the Megadeth tone. Very good combination, IMO.

[lefty]

these are clean boosts to you guys? wierd. to me a clean boost is something that colors your sound as little as possible while increasing the volume. all the pedals listed here color your tone like crazy.

You are correct, sir! I'm thinking of
my Fulltone Fat Boost into my ENGL
preamp. Yields a lot more OOMPH
to the sound of an already-hot-as-
hell preamp. Tone knob is very
effective as an extra Presence control.
Quality built and boutique snob appeal.
And if you don't like it, you can turn around
and sell it for darn near what you paid...
