Clean boost that can get gritty without a volume jump?

[santiall]

I'd try the Zoom power Drive PD-01

I came here to say RC boost too. This is really what it’s made for: clean boost with some grit that can be dialed in as needed if you don’t want it too clean.

The amount of volume increase a boost gives depends on how hard you’re already clipping the input of the amp when you turn it on.

I will never stop boasting about boosting with a Voodoo Labs Sparkle Drive.

Is the HX Stomp still a board option?

Have you tried the Kinky Boost in your HX Stomp?

Don't turn on the boost function, but use the drive level to get the edge of dirt you want.

It's always on the board.

1. Not sure if I have enough available blocks. For an extra drive let alone adding another fx S/R in my preset.
2. I greatly prefer an analog circuit over the digital equivalent. I love dirt pedals in a bunch of modelers but the "real thing" always speaks to me much more in that regard.

You could test it out and if it does what you need then you can buy the real thing.

I really dig the Giggity from them, too.

Haha! Just bought a Sparkle Drive off the 'Verb.

Boost with no volume jump?

This was my response right from the OP, visa vis "clean + grit". :)

 

[mbenigni]

I have heard good things. Plus tone is in the comic sans.

A joke with an embedded "comic's hands" pun FTW.

Not sure if you still care, but the Sparkle Drive will do it.

RC Booster is great for this \m/

just had one of those moments where I posted not realizing there were 3 more pages of posts that already cover what I said.

I am still delightfuly confused by the RC, and I have it permanently on (with only moderate gain and volume high)... I often find myself thinking, "how does it make such a difference, when it doesn't appear to do much at all?".

I guess one could pretty accurately analyse what it's actually doing. But personally, I rather not do that. I'm not much into all things "mojo" (usually not at all), but I like some bits of it to somewhat survive. And well, as someone owning an original RC and 3 clones, I pretty much have to.
