Members FormerlyBassred Posted May 2, 2013 Members Share Posted May 2, 2013 I am a rhythm guy. All of my tones are set up for that, pretty much, with pretty even volumes throughout the clean-OD-Dist range. There are a few (very few) times in our set that I'll actually play a lick that might count as a 'lead'... The 'More Drive' option on my Fender Hot Rod Deluxe III dumps more gain INTO the preamp, so it's not really the best option for a boost, because it changes the sound, too. I'm notoriously cheap. When I was looking at the options for boost pedals, I was pretty shocked to see that they are no cheaper than the boutique pedals that are out there, and there are a ton of boost options... It occured to me yesterday that I have a DOD BIFET preamp pedal in my bag of tricks. I use it for when I play my Martin acoustic, which has only a peizo pickup and no EQ. It helps to smooth out the sound through PA systems. I rarely play the Martin outside of the house now (as I have a very nice Garrison that has an EQ) so i decided to try it out as a boost. It has plenty of volume that it can boost, that is for sure! With the TONE knob, I can also dial it in a bit so that leads have more body along with volume. Would you recommend running it at the end of my pedalboard chain or in the loop? I do have a delay pedal, which is currently last in line in the PB chain. How would you run this setup?Guitar - Compressor - OD - Dist - Delay - Boost - ampyour help is greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Player99 Posted May 3, 2013 Members Share Posted May 3, 2013 It is supposed to be like a Klon pedal. I put mine at the beginning. Not sure if it is best though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TomCTC Posted May 3, 2013 Members Share Posted May 3, 2013 They're so cheap, it's ridiculous. The last time I saw one at a pawn shop, they were asking ten dollars. $10. For Klon toan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bieke Posted May 3, 2013 Members Share Posted May 3, 2013 FX-10 sounds more transparant than a KlonI've had a FX-10 for 12 years or so, use it for acoustic with a soundhole pickuponly tried a Klon for the first time recently, it was OK as wellbut after reading and hearing so much about it, it expected more of itFX-10, I did not expect much of it, but it works great (for that acustic thing)never thought of using it as a boost for electric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hangwire Posted May 6, 2013 Members Share Posted May 6, 2013 It's hard to imagine a half rate troll would know chat nicknames yet be totally off on the limited dod pedals I like.... It's like robo took a spill off his trike and is recovering from head trauma with the forum open in front of him.... No robo wouldn't be this dumb even then...
