OD as boost

a typical OD unit has drive in it- there's no cleans to be had. i think you need a clean booster to boost your drive tone.

Marshall was there all along + a more affordable 'best of both worlds' offering:

however, if you are looking for an effective clean booster to fry your drive, consider this:

for clean boost keeley kantana and tonefactor copperhead gets my vote

rly wanna get my hands on a copperhead, so jic anyone of u ordering from tonefactor and wanna split shipping.... :D
 
The Katana seems massive, I mean like good stuff~

If you just want a good absolute clean boost, Seymour Duncan Pickup booster man. It can KILL your amp.

If not, Maxon OD9 is great when you turn the overdrive down and volume up, just that little grit that works on those tele sounding licks~ good for clean chords too on a middle-neck position playing.
 
the Duncan pickup booster has 2 modes (1 & 2) which are more suitable for single coils. the remaining mode (mode 0) is a neutral module, works well with all PU types 8)

hey guys thnks for the info n suggestions,

im looking into smth like the maxon OD9, turn the gain all the way down n max the vol. but i believe its too expensive to do jus dat...
will look into the BB-2 now...

:D
 
do keep your options open. there are many pedals within the BB-2's price bracket, among others:

*Ibanez TS7
*Rocktron Austin Gold
*Guyatone OD-2
*Digitech Tone Driver
 
'poor man's version' is lazy journalism for exhausted classification.

using 2 OD units simultaneously- definitely workable. Kenny Wayne Shepperd did use 3 Tubescreamers in a single line up.

Poor man's version? If it sounds that good, hey, cheap is good. :) I should check that out...

-Nothing wrong with the usage here. He's just saying its relatively cheaper.
Otherwise its just as 'lazy' to say 'best of both worlds' to describe something, when its obviously ok.

As for OD, I think the TS7 will do fine (especially the price). A 'cleaner' boost is obtained by just turning up volume without the gain or drive. You'll still get grit, but it might be what you want.

Absolutely clean boost, probably ODs are not it. Unless you get some combination pedals, like Carl Martin Drive N Boost, which is essentially an OD and a clean boost. Price not so friendly but it does its job well.
