Boost pedals
So i'm after a (i think) boost pedal.
remember I'm a bassist.
Just something to add a bit of 'crunch' to my tone for some parts of songs. Not distortion.
I'm currently using my boss bass overdrive, with the gain turned down really low, but it's still a bit too distorted.
I still want clean, but just a bit of grit (or boost, if that's the correct term - I'm not all over FX thingys)
Ones i've been looking up & checking out could be these.
EH LPB-1

MXR Micro Amp

Deviever Dark Boost
http://www.deviever.com/fx/dark-boost/
Catalinbread Super Chili Picoso

I like the sound of the Chili in some vids, but it's with guitars.
I think the guys in Beak have a MI Boost n buff, but i'm not sure. It's red & white. I can't ask at the moment, both guys are away o/s.
anyone have suggestions?
cheers

Re: Boost pedals
OD 808 is a great tube screamer
but yea, not sure it'd work well with a bass, with the mid hump and all
I was going to suggest a cheapo in the Boss SD-1, until I read about the bass, SD-1 being a tube screamer variant
I've heard this is very good for the price <!-- m -->http://www.amazon.com/MOOER-Boost-bypas ... flex+boost<!-- m -->
also, maybe a Boss Bass EQ could do the trick

Re: Boost pedals
A ton of bass players seem to use the Tech 21 Sansamp Bass DI. Not sure if that is more of a distortion type jobby though.

Re: Boost pedals
nice!! I messed with one of those RC boosters for guitar, they give a nice OD too!
you're sure to dig it, report back sir Fukket when it has arrived and subsequently abused!
