What's that pedal that 'fattens' up your tone?

now thats an interesting one. if you get a chance, tell us more about your settings. i have an af-9 too, and id like to try it. thanks

 

 

I think the setting I use to warm up my sound is sensitivity at zero, peak about halfway or so, the first two switches all up and the third one down.

 

I also set it up with the switches middle, down and up (I think) to give it a nice treble boost to cut through for solos and stuff. Almost makes it sound like an octavia.

The pedal I've heard cited most often to do that is the DOD BiFet preamp. Fattens at unity gain, but I turn the gain knob up half-way (about +5dB) to get a better signal-to-noise-ratio. It just makes you sound like you installed better pick-ups! (I never use the tone knob either; it's voiced too low or high for my tastes.)

If you think the fat boost is the way to go- go to Generalguitargadgets.com and build a mini booster- you can build it identically to the fat boost o make other improvments. I'd say klon is the ultimate clean boost fattener....but it's got a price tag that is too high for most people.
