Mid-Boost pedals . . . what is out there ?

[SirJackdeFuzz]

Been off the 'pedal scouting' game for a while now.

Been playing a lot, straight into the amp(s).
Now i find myself completely out of the loop, on all things pedal wise.

Is there anything similar to this Mid-Boost pedal (from Demeter) that you guys can recommend (except, off course a decent EQ pedal)

Thanks

I really, really like my Xotic BB Preamp MB (it’s a custom shop version with added Mid-Boost pot) - works great as a cleani(ish) boost and with higher gain.

I’ve got the “Comp” version where you can adjust the compression settings.
It s a great pedal.

i use timmy that way sometimes. the treble and bass are reductive so if you set them at 3 oclock you get a mid boost

I haven’t tried it, but you should check out the Suhr Koko Boost.

Thank you guys.
I will look into all those pedals.

Keep those suggestions coming.

Any drive pedals out there with a true Baxadall EQ system on board ?

Take a look at the Seafoam Pedals Lighthouse. It makes a good midboost, but it has other functionality as well. It can function as a clean, dirty, or "nasty" boost and also has the capability of switching between a true boost, a mid boost, and a treble boost. It comes in a mini, pedal board friendly format too.

Any Tube Screamer style pedal.

So literally ANY Overdrive that is painted green in the store is going to be a mid boost pedal.

Re: Mid-Boost pedals . . . what is out there ?

The 805 does this well, because it has an active 3-band EQ.

Re: Mid-Boost pedals . . . what is out there ?

I really like the maxon supertube st9pro+,,,,,,,,,,but an 805 could be had for half that price and is about as simple and versatile as green boxes can get.

+1 for 805...

Re: Mid-Boost pedals . . . what is out there ?

Drybell Unit 67 has a pretty unique take on mid boost, like a Rangemaster treble boost but the shelf freq is down in the midrange.
The unit also has low & high EQ and world class compression, plus plenty of boost if you want.
Not cheap but it's a very very good design and there's nothing like it that I've seen.

My god - some days you guys just can't read!!!!!!

What you need SirJdF, is a Parametric EQ

I think about 80's pedals from Yamaha here. Maybe Korg, or Arion also. Boss used to(?) make something called the PQ3(?) I think?

That will let you dial in exactly the frequency, the width, and amount of boost perfectly! No - this is not a "good" EQ. This is nothing like a GE6 or an MXR 10 band. Wayyyyy cooler than that, and likely what that Demeter does, just with a preset frequency and width.

Or, if you just want a mid boost pedal, and old OD (TS9, Bad Monkey, 805, SD1, etc) will get you there, plus gain and 1-3 bands of "good EQ" according to Ibanez, Boss or whoever.

You want a Stone Deaf PDF-2.

Parametric EQ, clean or dirty mode, based on Josh Homme's secret weapon from the 'Rated R' era. I have two.

This configuration won't boost the mids per se. Rather just attenuate the low and high end to create a hump at the center frequency of the Baxandall tone.
