Solo boost..

[sl2lover]

Ya im already running an eq, so i think ill go the clean boost pedal route! Another friend of mine recommended an Ibanez tube screamer.

Lil Alligator volume pedal in the loop. This way I can have solo boost and I can vary the boost for fills. It doesn't color my sound at all and its completely silent.

+1, works great!!

If you've got an older amp that you can't do the EQ trick on, a Treble Booster can be very effective. There a number of decent ones out there, pretty much all clones of the Dallas Arbiter Rangemaster.

That will work to a point in a 1 guitar band but when you need to jump out in front of a live and loud metal mix in a 2 guitar band doing the EQ thing doesn't work. You need full fledged DB's.

I used to use an MXR "Micro Amp" pedal.

Worked fine for me.

Robert Keeley "Katana"! Just awesome!

Do you use any effects? I use delay on all my solos, and have the level control at about 1:00 on a Boss DD-2 that is just right for a boost.

i have an eq in the loop but i also have an eq infront which works well for me. i noticed others said it wont work infront. maybe its the fact that i have an eq in the loop which makes it work.

- oh yeah i'm boosting the mid and highs on the eq infront. its goin eq1-blue voodoo-loop sonic stomp and eq2-back in.
