Ok so i'm getting a Hoof and I want to nail the sounds in this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyN614y5ar0 however after I grab the hoof I won't have enough money for the Kalamazoo. Can I use something like an Ehx Lpb-1 to push the hoof into explosion like that? What do you recommend I do on the cheap to achieve that sound? Keep in mind I use a Vox ac15c1 so just any old tube screamer won't do. Thanks for the help guys as usual guys.

And Aardvarks! set to clean boost sounds superb with a Hoof, or any other fuzz really.

I wouldn't use an Lpb-1 for that, it adds alot of volume and a little bass but doesn't really "push" your pedals. I'd use another fuzz or mild OD. I use a Modtone speedbox, cheap distortion, to boost my Box of Rock from a Marshall sound into more of a Russian Big Muff sound. I'd check it out. I also use an equalizer as a boost to boost specific frequencies when I solo, I would also try doing this too. But the LPB-1 is not what you are looking for. Maybe an 05 artifact or a Dark Boost maybe. Or perhaps even an Electric Brown.

with an lpb1 ive only ever noticed my amp being pushed harder, it doesnt seem to do much with my fuzzes

Try an overdrive after the hoof. That's how he had the kalamazoo. Maybe even just a boost after, so the hoof hits your tubes hard as hell.

...and I've never had a problem with lpb's pushing other pedals

He's not pushing the hoof with the kalamazoo -- looks like the kalamazoo is after the hoof acting as a dirty amp.
Hoof -> some kind of overdrive pedal or a nice dirty tube amp should do the trick.
But that nice sag is the bassman no?
That solidgolfx pedal is great too -- it's an Ibanez Standard fuzz and nails a lot of those Black Keys sounds on its own.

No he's using the deluxe reverb again. I agree that Solidgold fx formula 76 is an awesome pedal. So I guess i'm looking for a good cheap overdrive for a vox then.

Crowther Hotcake or GTFO.

I don't know what an aardvark is lol, but maybe i'll try a Box of Rock or a Hotcake... I wish there was a cheaper overdrive that sounded like some of those rare smaller combo, but i know that's asking too much. A honey bee overdrive might sound amazing, but they're ridiculous in price.

These things love fuzz, either pushing other pedals, or being pushed by them.
