Members IRG Posted August 2, 2008 Members Share Posted August 2, 2008 I've been trying out boost pedals all week, just for that purpose... to leave on all the time. I've tried the RC Booster, which I really like and I'm leaning towards that. Tried the AC... sounds good, but I little to compressed for taste... I also tried a Seymour Duncan pedal booster...Does anyone know anything about the MXR MC-401 Boost? I have read some things about it (all good), but I can't find one in town to listen to. Get the RC Booster, you won't regret it. While it doesn't have a lot of extra gain on its own, with the gain turned up some, it makes other pedals sound fuller, deeper, grittier. I run it before my OD pedals, although now with my BB Plus, I don't have much need for other pedals. Works great with your amps dirt too. Also, if you run it clean with the gain off, it is totally clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members huskerjohn Posted August 2, 2008 Members Share Posted August 2, 2008 I use my comp and my modded BD2 on all the time with the BD2 set nearly clean. I back off the volume just a tad and the tone is clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members melx Posted August 2, 2008 Members Share Posted August 2, 2008 i keep my DOD biFet on all the time. +1 I have a hard time turning my Dod Bi-Fet off....It's not really boosting anything volume-wise though because it's set to almost unity, I use it more like an enhancer.

Members drasp Posted August 2, 2008 Members Share Posted August 2, 2008 I've only recently started using my DOD EQ as an a boost with only the lowest frequencies boosted a smidge. REALLY great in front of my Tiny Terror. I usually have some kind of dirt on, a Rat or FF or Muff and use the volume on my guitar constantly. I'd like to pick up a SCP at some point, maybe one of the new ones with the Fat/Clean switch. I used to think about getting one vs. the Poblano (wasn't that the 'stout' boost?) Having both in one box would be the ticket, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JimiRules Posted August 13, 2008 Author Members Share Posted August 13, 2008 I had a gig over the weekend and I tried running my bad bob in front of my amp and I left it on all the time. I really liked the results! I think I'm going to do this from now on. The only thing is that when I switched to my clean channel it wasn't totally clean. It had a little bit of grit to it, but I just had to watch how I picked and I was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
