Then I also have twin Boost options (one per channel) on both my Chase Bliss Brothers and Strymon Sunset Dual Drive pedals - so in effect no less than ’8’ possible boost opportunities throughout the chain - to impact signal strength, volume, gain and tone.īoosts obviously come in all manner of shapes and sizes, and before I had the Xotic EP Booster I used the almost equally brilliant TC Electronic Spark Mini Booster - I switched to the EP Booster as I liked its added warmth just a touch more - both are excellent. I also have a boost Channel on my Strymon Riverside that I use to warm up tone - and an additional mini boost pedal attached to that for yet another volume bump. My Foxpedal City pedal has built in the ’Ebenezer Clean MOSFET Boost’ so I can either use that to boost the Tube Screamer Overdrive of that pedal, or impact other pedals in my chain. I actually have various ’Boosts’ throughout my chain - the EP Booster at the start for warmth (based on an Echoplex pre-amp). Many players use their Tube Screamer or Tumnus/Klon pedals to boost gain of either their amp, or another sequential drive pedal - rather than using those pedals as proper Overdrives in and of themselves. to boost warmth or treble, or to boost gain. There are 4 key purposes to boost pedals - as buffers to increase signal strength, as a volume bump, as a tone-enhancement - e.g. A ’Boost’ pedal is another essential always-on pedal in my signal chain - I use an Xotic EP Booster to add a little more warmth and liveliness to my core tone.
