Boost

dbl pst sorry

I had a Klon a while back and I loved it but ended up trading it towards an amp or something. I don't use any pedals any more and can't remember the last time I had something other than a cable between my guitar and an amp, but there are a few I wouldn't mind seeking out.

Go to the Amp Garage Forum Index tab at the top of the page and start again. That works for me.

Well lots of options here. Thanks guys for the ideas. Modifying the circuit is out as I don't want to butcher Marks work. I'm horrible with a soldering gun. Building a pedal may be an option.

On another note I've discovered Amperex in the first two stages followed by a long grey plate RCA is steller in this circuit.

I was surprised to learn the EH Soul Food is actually based on the Klon Centaur.

I've been using the Origin Effects Slide Rig as a clean boost and as an "effect" compressor. It's basically two channels of the circuitry of the venerable Urei 1176 "FET" compressor. There are two channels, I set one as a clean boost with a tiny bit of compression and the second with the compression ramped up for a very Lowell George sounding clean forever sustain. http://www.origineffects.com/SlideRIG.php

BYOC overdrive 2. Its a tube screamer with some mod switches. and also a separate boost pedal in one.

I love it, you can have a few variations in distortion / boost all in one.
Plus its cheap and fun to build.

I have the MKC (Mini Klon Clone) from Guitar PCB and that is a great sounding pedal.

I've been using a Geek Driver pedal and an AMZ MOSFET boost for leads. They are both outstanding pedals.

As others have already said, a RangeMaster-type booster is just incredible with AC30/Rocket amps...but you must be running your amp somewhat overdriven already for best results...

I have been using the Lizard Leg Effects Flying Dragon boost for a couple years now and love it! Check it out..you will not be disappointed

Option 1 - A Rocket booster is almost free once you've built the amp... http://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11401 ... this is maybe a little more subtle than a distortion pedal but a very cool and harmless mod to add a little boost to the "fat bottom girl" in your life....

Option 2 - I googled for all time best distortion pedals way back and to nobody's surprise the Tube Screamer was at the top of the list... but unexpectedly, the low budget Bad Monkey (TS clone) did ok on the reviews and it works extremely well - as do most pedals - with the Rocket.
