Boost pedals

[FUKKET]

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

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

[FUKKET]

also just had a real wicked guitar/tech bloke recommend this.

Xotics RC Booster

[FUKKET]

coming very close to going somewhere to check out the XOTIC Bass RC Booster!



Watching a bunch of vids... I like what I hear!

i used to use a maxon od 808 but not sure if a tube screamer is really what you are looking for

[FUKKET]

thanks.



definitely going to source this: XOTIC Bass RC Booster - exactly what i'm after...

I've always wanted to try an OD 808.

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

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.

[FUKKET]

i bought the Xotic RC bass - should get in a few weeks

[neckred]

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!
