    Re: Looking for a gain and volume boost

    An SD-1 or TS will make your guitar *seem* louder because of the boost in mids.

      Well it's an overdrive so it's not supposed to be a main distortion circuit. You use the OD to boost your amp to creamy saturation and the boost side to give you some extra volume during a solo.

        there are plenty of people who use an overdrive as their main distortion circuit

          My favorite gritty boost right now is a toss up between the right side of the BMF Effects Godfather II (which is the same as the Godfather) or for a different flavor the GB Boost, also from BMF effects

            Absolutely. Still, some circuits work better for that than others. I don't think JohnnyTheKid meant to dis the pedal, just to mention that it's one of those that isn't at its best into a clean channel. He did say it's great into a driven amp.

              Didn't know about those, looks pretty cool. I don't use a boost much (main rig is a Triaxis so there's no need) though I do have a ChurchOfTone on my rehearsal pedalboard. But a one knob OD/boost with a color switch is a great idea!

                I would recommend Mojo Mojo overdrive by T.C Electronics.

                  Tc electronic spark booster is great, mid boost feature is even better if you want to keep your original tone but cut through the mix

                    Mad Professor Ruby Red, can be tweaked used as a clean boost or can boost volume and gain.

                      Moog MF Boost... does that add enough grit for you?
