Gang of 10 - Overdrive and Boost Pedals

[NegativeEase]

Speaking of heavy hitters, of the ones I've listed, I would say the J Rockett Archer IKON is the most solid, weighty stomp of the bunch.

Perfect for chucking at sucky guitar players in sucky cover bands.

Gold Ikon is my fav OD to have first and for stacking with a Rat or another OD

That Moog sounds interesting.

It is a great pedal for delay or boost. As a boost, there are a lot of dynamics and colorization the user can control. My settings live between a slapback and deep reverb setting. It sounds huge and is a blast to play.

Good golly - the RAT has a ton of gain on it; can't see why it would need any stacking.

I like driving a Rat with only edging into clipping (maybe 9 oclock) on the ole' Rat -Gives a brilliant sparkly Overdriven with some nice harmonic Rattiness

I will have to check one out. When you say boost, are you meaning more of what the amp already does but louder or are you talking tightening up the low end and such to make a flubby amp tighter and more responsive and adding some gain?

Currently I use:
Barber Gain Changer
EQD Speaker Cranker
EHX Soul Food (as clean boost)

I also own Boss Blues Driver

Depending on how far you push the DRIVE it will definitely add some gain and color. The more you increase the DRIVE the more mid-forward the pedal gets. If I drop the delay MIX to a dry signal there is enough gain in the pedal for a classic rock vibe by itself. When using it to push an already overdriven amp the pedal is very mid-forward and it will tighten up the tone and allow the amp to growl. For myself, this is when I start to bring in the delay gently and thicken the sound a bit with a bit of slapback/reverb.

That sounds like a great pedal to have for sure!
