Am I the only one who thinks clean boosts are cool?

Ive always wanted the empress eq/boost. It seems like such a useful lice tool.

I have a preset on my Empress Tremolo that I use as a clean boost, it does the job.

SS amps they work for slamming other pedals (and then clamping down on level elsewhere in the chain).

I don't like "Clean" boosts or transparent crap. I want something nasty and grungy and ugly, like a Bee Baa boost, or the particular scoop of the Space Echo's pre at gain levels pedals cry at attaining, etc. Have a SHO variant with some germanium something or other on a switch that's magically dirty run into a Quadraverb as well.

But generally, if it ain't an ugly boost, I have no point in having it!

Clean boosts are exceptional after vintage (i.e. EHX) pedals with the "volume drop" and general low-output, simple fuzz circuits...making everything *more-better*

They're pretty great if you're one to ride the volume knob a lot. The transparent ones are boring to me though, I prefer something with a bit of coloration. I usually find that when I do want a completely clean, transparent boost, it means I didn't turn my amp up loud enough.

STFU, you secretly know that clean boosts make everything sound better. Everybody likes things louder, right?

Take one glitchy-ass signal, add a clean boost, enjoy.

What happens when you run out of volume knob?

You step on a clean boost.

but then you haven't run out of volume knobs.

No, but seriously, clean boosts are groovy in the proper context.

and then you remember Chank owns like 15 Klons.

(they can be cool, def.)

MRX Micro Amp after an overdrive into a tube amp is great for more gain and makes things feedback really well.

I love the clean boost on the RRR but I don't think I'd buy it as a stand alone pedal.
