The Boss FZ2's boost function is pretty nice. Treb/bass, volume and gain. There's also an insane amount of fuzz on tap as well if you choose.

Re: Thinking about getting some sort of pedal
I've got the Behringer one and it pushes my HM2 far more effectively than either the stage 3 boost or the boutique bassy boost pedals I have. Id like to get just the boost and tone controls in a separate pedal.

Re: Thinking about getting some sort of pedal
I have several boost pedals (like, 6 or 7). I love 'em!
What are you boosting, and for what purpose? Is it for more gain into your amp? Or as a solo boost through your fx loop?
A good boost for the former or latter would be the Nick Greer Sweetback driver.
If only for the former, the BB Preamp is great and very versatile.

Re: Thinking about getting some sort of pedal
just a boost in muscle i suppose, not in volume. this ideology was brought to attention due to myself owning 2 pretty ok OD's, and being used to that process, then acquiring an amp that has a boost feature, and i feel my OD's are not required, now me confused, as to maybe i need a boost pedal to experiment with the head with no boost, and i use OD wif. blehrurrrrp.

Lots of people love the Maxon OD808 for metal. If I had the dough I would buy one. IIRC they are under $200 new (I think in the $170 range).

I wholeheartedly agree with the Wylde OD and Maxon 808
The Wylde especially for metal cuz it naturally has an awesome aggressive sound

Re: Thinking about getting some sort of pedal
i have both maxon OD9, and OD Pro +, was looking for more of a boost, maybe im retwadid, and there is no difference, that is a possibility, as i type with two fingers and one eye squinting.
i have tried the OG ZW OD, was not impressed by it's performance, but would try that new? one?. is it the same joint?

Re: Thinking about getting some sort of pedal
OP, what settings did you try the Wylde Overdrive at? It doesn't have much distortion on tap, but it doesn't need it either.
I run mine with the Volume and Tone cranked amd the Gain all the way down. This kicks my amp in the teeth with a nice fat volume boost that brings out more harmonics and a little more grit. It works great, especially after I modded it to run 18 volts.

Re: Thinking about getting some sort of pedal
good dear sir, i have zero clue , it was a while ago, and i dont recall it being the smoothest. my amp gets kicked in the arsewhole on the reg, one of my OD's is also 18v, maybe i am the one confused and OD/Boost are so similar, that im tryin to find a window? just an excuse to experiment.

He meant the Fulltone Fatboost, if you haven't already figured out via google.
