Members Vintage55 Posted January 28, 2010 Members Share Posted January 28, 2010 HAO Rust Booster....a little bit of grit if you want it, otherwise it just smashes it's way thru the mix... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members smorgdonkey Posted January 28, 2010 Members Share Posted January 28, 2010 i am supprised how we have got this far without "tubescreamer" i broke down and finally bought one (the BBE Green Screamer which is a TS808) and love it. it works well to wake it up a little bit. That's the answer that I'd give. Here's why: -you can add a little boost to the level -the tubescreamer normally chops off the bottom end just a tad and your bass player is playing while you solo so that just makes things go together better anyway -you get some mid boost so since the singer is normally not singing while you solo and that's where the voice is...

Members csm Posted January 28, 2010 Members Share Posted January 28, 2010 How many other players in your band? What's the instrumental line-up? If there's another guitarist, what does he/she currently use? All this stuff is context-dependent ... difficult to answer in a vacuum (the lack of air doesn't help, either).

Members Prages Posted January 28, 2010 Members Share Posted January 28, 2010 great useful little pedal. Of course if you are using a really hot overdriven rhythm tone, the boost has to come after the spot of the saturation. Yep. An EQ pedal in the loop if you have a loop, or after the OD pedal if you use a pedal for ODs will boost your leads wonderfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members d_dave_c Posted January 28, 2010 Members Share Posted January 28, 2010 What about a compressor with the volume boosted? The other guitarist in a band I was in did this and it worked well. I used a big muff. I always liked his tone better (and he was using a rat for dirt, too). He just had the Boss Compressor/Sustainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BAXANDALL Posted January 28, 2010 Members Share Posted January 28, 2010 This is what I use. It's a perfectly transparent volume boost. The best one I've ever used. Earthquaker Devices - Blackeye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 55gibby Posted January 28, 2010 Members Share Posted January 28, 2010 This is what I use True bypass, just adds boost and no color. It also has pots in the case to dial it in. I love this one, I never use distortion and this lil'guy is just enough to give me a bit of tube grind and sustain to make me sound like I know what I'm doing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
