Boost - SD-1 or BD-2?

[Thumbtacks]

Hey all. I've got a OD-3 as my main drive, but I'm also looking for a volume and slight drive boost. I'm thinking of getting either the SD-1 and BD-2. Any ideas? Recommendations?

 

[leecs]

I don't use BD2 for boosting, but SD1 is ok for boosting. BD2 has more low end & dynamics than SD1.

how bout an mxr microamp?

just imho, if it sounds wrong, pardon me.

If you are satified with the od-3 as the main sound and just wanna pump the volume/gain higher, how bout a clean boost? Eg, mxr microamp, EH LPB-1 etc

The bd2 and and sd2 are another drive pedal and if use to boost another drive pedal, unless you are looking for that colouring of drive on drive or drive on distortion stacking thing, if not, a clean boost might be another possible consideration

Go for the clean boost option if you want more volume.

Gtr --> dirt pedal --> boost --> amp

mxr microamp is noisy.

Hmm, any suggestions for a clean boost?

Later all these plug through a Peavey Rage 158. :supz:

it will make your blood boil!

ok in all seriousness, booster wise, i was thinking of the ac/rc booster? what say you all? If gots the moolah, go for beano boost. 8)

I dont think AC booster is a clean bost. THe RC is. Go for the RC if you have $$$.

i thought an ibanez tubescreamer is quite a good booster cos its rather transparent....haha not exactly a clean boost though.

I actually mean what I say. And here's what I mean: there's no context for anyone to actually give a useful opinion. Amps? Technique? Musical Influences? Particular preferences?

Hey, I think I still have that single! :wink:

 

[kank_39]

Hey, I think I still have that single!

I have the album! :lol:

My recommendation: Zoom PD-01 (Clean Boost when gain = 0 and TS type od if gain > 0)

 

[thor666]

I had the Zoom PD-01 before. Heh.

 

[subversion]

if you are happy with the OD-3, wish it has more kick, then employ a clean booster in your FX chain. here are some:

*EHX- LPB1

*Behringer PB100

*MXR Micro Amp

if you live by the single-coil tone, the Duncan Pickup Booster is recommended:

How about Xotic's RC Booster or Banzai's Rising Sun 2? I think those are pretty good boosts as well! RC may be a little more versatile cuz there a little eq control on it (highs and lows)... Whereas with Rising Sun 2, what you get is what you got!
