Members TomCTC Posted May 29, 2008 Members Share Posted May 29, 2008 Any boost with a gain and volume knob will do the trick. I'd look at a Hao Rust Booster, but if you want to save some cash, you can boost just the level with an EQ pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members spentron Posted May 29, 2008 Members Share Posted May 29, 2008 Turn down the amp, then any boost will do. If you still need gain, put a distortion pedal in front. Seriously, you're asking to break the laws of physics. The amp is distorting already because it won't go any louder. Now, I always thought boost did make it louder. Not the peaks, but the average, and single notes come out as loud as unboosted chords. But that's not trying for the chords background, lead 100 miles out front thing you hear on some recordings. A lot of the time, the amp's help in making the volume more consistent, and the "extremely amp-like response" of louder, dirtier, pull back, cleaner, are GOOD things. You can also make an amp seem louder with the right EQ or feeding it some ass-ripping fuzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what i'm thinking that the treble boost will make my stuff SOUND louder or atleast make it cut through more cause it's just more gainy now which can be good, but not for all solo applications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bhsbhswarp Posted May 29, 2008 Members Share Posted May 29, 2008 try an eq in the fx loop.it will boost it quite a ways and you can ajust the sliders for what ever kind of attack you want from mellow to razor sharp.if you don't have a loop you can do a search.there's a co. that makes a plug in type that you pull a tube out and insert the device with a tube.if its s.s.there's also a way to mod it.but again a loop is the best possible way to increase volume to your liking.anything else is just gonna saturate the input and make it disapear inthe mix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brother_Budro Posted May 30, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 30, 2008 so i have been looking for that pop in effects loop and can't find it any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tonedover Posted May 30, 2008 Members Share Posted May 30, 2008 pop in? sorry dunno, but i wanna know now too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members spentron Posted May 30, 2008 Members Share Posted May 30, 2008 so i have been looking for that pop in effects loop and can't find it any help? I don't think either of those amps have a loop .... you are running the boost after the Muff? That gets most drive to amp. Or boost the Muff and use turning off the Muff as the volume boost .... Or are you comparing boost + boost (muff etc.) or do you just have the amp cranked? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members The Lou-Dog Posted May 30, 2008 Members Share Posted May 30, 2008 i suggest the Analogman Beano Boost. www.analogman.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IRG Posted May 30, 2008 Members Share Posted May 30, 2008 I also have the Boosta Grande, but it does exactly what it's supposed to do. But then I'm not using it with a cranked amp. I imagine at some point, as mentioned, if there's no headroom left, there's not much any boost can do. I also have an MXR EQ pedal, and while it can boost, it isn't as effective as the Boosta Grande. Try other boosters, but it seems maybe the problem lies elsewhere, and not with the BG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brother_Budro Posted May 30, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 30, 2008 my plexi has the imputs jumpered together and both volume are on about 3 but i have a PPIMV and im assuming that's what keeping it from getting loud? i need to know about this effects loop business i think the BYOC tri boost will make my amp sound louder because it has a treble boost and a mid boost but i still don't get why my ocd makes my amp louder but the boosta grande doesn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bluehuricane Posted May 30, 2008 Members Share Posted May 30, 2008 don't put an effects loop in your amp... unless you want to ruin it... your ocd is probably making your amp seem louder cause it has a mid hump and mids have a tendency to seem a lot louder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Brother_Budro Posted May 30, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 30, 2008 it's a ceriatone plexi not an original or anything so your saying that if i use the mid boost on the triboost that will do what i am looking for? also i went to my amp tech today and talked to him, not about this but he mentioned he would sell me an effects loop kit for my plexi for $20 just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
