Boost Pedal Recommedation

Re: Boost Pedal Recommedation

The Blackheart 5 watt amp has no effects loop. Whatever boost pedal I use will need to be a high output. The Boosta Grande works but a few more dbs are needed to get above the band for solos.
I may snag the Fulltone Fat Boost II that is being sold locally or go for the Angry Troll.

the thing is you might not be able to get a few more db from the front end.

with the volume on 8 there probably isnt much more headroom left. the stronger the signal you pound into the front end, the more distortion you are going to get but you arent going to get much more volume.

the zvex super duper can throw more output than anything ive used as a booster and sounds great but i dont know if it will do what you want it to

I may have a solution.
Get a 10 or 15 watt amp for low volume band practice.
Or, and this is my recommendation for myself!!!!
Get a larger and a non residential practice space so I can use the Mesa and Marshall 50 watters and 4x12 cabs and rock like a real man!!!

Pigtronix Class A Boost = +20db and virtually no noise

Re: Boost Pedal Recommedation

You'll be just hitting the tubes harder and harder by that point, but I'm not sure you'll actually get any more volume.

I think that what you actually need here is a treble booster pedal, you know?

You need something that adds some extra dBs to the signal, but that also boosts the right frequencies as well, so that you cut through the band better.

That, or a louder amp.
