      I think I found the right thing for me by running the Tumnus deluxe into my recently acquired pantheon. I'm totally in love with it. Then I have a digitech nuatila flanger/chorus just barely engaged and finally the ethereal. Love this combo. it's the shit as they say......

    Excellent video. Loved the subtitles on the cat! LOL!! You really spoke some truth when you said that things sound differently when you're at home and then when you're at a venue. I've done boost pedals before and after my main distortion, but there's always some variance. I guess I'd prefer before.

    I never really liked my OCD with single coils until I started boosting it. I've been running it before an Xotic AC Booster, sounds great. Gotta try putting the Tumnus pre-OCD, because that tone was rad! Like halfway between a Treble Booster and a Tubescreamer boost. Goes to show what a good K-style circuit can do. Tumnus is one of the best.

    Hey Brian, thanks for all of your videos, I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I have a #1 rig with two treble boosts (never at same time) a BSM BM-Q special and an Analogman Beeno Boost. Love them both. Usually use the BSM most frequently. The Beeno gives a little more of a warm (?) treble boost. they are first in my chain after my wah and tuner. I play out of a Vox AC 30 S1 and solo boost with a Katana in the effects loop. My practice rig is a Vox MV 50 Rock and a Tumnus (which I like a little better than my tubescreamer). This gives me higher gain sounds for a VH (I & II) sound out of a JB TB. Now I just adde3d an MXR 6band silver and I have to really do some experimenting. But I think the fun is in the tone searching. Happy New year and keep up the great work!

    I've always used an old DOD FX10. I usually keep it after all of my dirt pedals, but I recently got a twin reverb and have been trying different configurations. I now have the boost in front of my OD but after my Fuzz and it's always on, and I like it that way because I can slightly boost the gain of my OD, but then boost the level / character of my fuzz. It's probably the most useful pedal on my board.

    This changes fairly regularly for me. For the last month or so I've been using diamond Comp Jr to boost into my ocd, this weekend i removed the comp jr, and put my Tim after the OCD. I tend to gravitate towards this latter setup, and if i had about 3" more of board space i would probably through the comp jr. in front to have boost before and after :) Another great video!

    Do what I do, have one at either end of your board. :)
    I have a TS clone at the beginning that I can use as a mild dirt pedal by itself or use it clean-ish to push another drive. I then have a JHS Banana Boost at the end of the board that I can use as a "solo" boost or occasionally as a mild dirt pedal. It surprises me that more people don't know about or use the Banana Boost and that it was discontinued. It is one of the nicest clean to slightly dirty boost pedals I've ever heard.

    So much fun! My old 80something TS-9 is still on the board as my first "gain" stage after the compressor. Both of which are basically always on. Depending on flavor or where I want to be in the mix I switch on the OCD, Pinnacle Deluxe, or DS-1.
    On very rare occasions I get to slap my EP boost in front of my Marshall 1987 with the volume at 3 o'clock or so! Absolute SWEETNESS!!! :)

    Recently, I played a country gig. I ran a Tumnus into a Euphoria but Tumnus was not being used as a boost. The Euphoria acted as my main dirty tone (into a modified Tweed Blues Junior) and the Tumnus was kicked in for even more drive. I use the Blues Junior's footswitchable Fat feature for a boost during solos. The Tumnus combined with the Euphoria sounds AMAZING! \m/

    @BoozyBeggar 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Before, obviously. My favorite just for boost so far is the JRAD silver archer. Tumnus Deluxe is next on my OD/boost list, tho. I'd also like to get a straight clean boost at some point to hopefully alleviate some of that volume loss on a pedal board.

    Ive been using the Green Rhino as a boost into either other gain pedals or the gain channel of my amp. So far it stacks the best. Others I like are using the tumnus(clean boost) or recently tried out the Friedman Buxom Boost(amazing versatility as well).

  • @handygunner0999
    @handygunner0999 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    My way of doing things has always been to have one or two full-range drive pedals, usually a low gain sound and higher gain sound, with a mid-hump style boost like a klon or TS circuit before them to kind of tighten them up, add a little gain, and give more of a mid-focused tone. And then after all of them I like a full-frequency clean boost so I can have any of my tones be louder but uncolored when needed.
    Also, I thought the OCD pushed by both the Tumnus and the Thirty Something boost before it were EPIC drive sounds into your Bravado!

      I am currently struggling with gain stage pedal order. JHS 3 series Fuzz, blues driver, Double Barrel, TS9, big muff, clean boost, Rat and a compressor sustainer. Volume pedal after the gain stage, and there’s a cry baby wah in the mix. Looking to add a Tumnus, but the order of these is driving me mad. I’m suffering from option overload. Not the worst problem to have, but still…what do I do?!?!

Even in front of the amp with the fuzz at zero for a clean boost it really the pushed the soak/overdrive of the amp beautifully. With the fuzz & boost at noon, the amp @ 10 o'clock, my lawn died. Nice review Mr.Wampler, thx for sharing your wisdom.

    @stoneysdead689 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is a situation where I can honestly say, I use and need both. Sometimes I just want whatever tone I have to be louder, sometimes I need more saturation and growl- and so I keep a boost before and after my drive and choose accordingly. Luckily- nowadays you have a ton of options to make this happen. You can run a compressor in front of the drives, use it as a boost and a compressor- you can buy a drive with a boost built in, you can use an eq pedal as a boost and shape it whatever way you like, you can buy boost pedals, or you can use other drives as boosts and stack them, and I'm sure there are other ways as well that I don't even know about. Personally- I run a Tumnus Deluxe into an AT+ from JHS- plus I have an 1176 Cali compressor and a Neve preamp in front of the Tumnus, and a Vertex Boost after the AT+. Then I run all my wet effects through the parallel fx loop on my amp. Works for me.

  • @JRP3music
    @JRP3music 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I like boost before and after overdrives. Boost after an overdrives for a lead boost. Boost before an overdrive to push a mid gain overdrive higher. What got me thinking that way was how my ADA MP-1 tube pre-amp had OV1 and OV2 and the how the over all tone would sound based on how you balanced them. Having the boost after, to me is like turning up the master volume up a bit on an amp. So, if the overdrive pedal needs to be louder, boost after it. Want the overdrive to harder hit the signal infront.

  • @williamhawkins69
    @williamhawkins69 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I had always put booster ahead of dirt but your vid and Anderson’s current vid both mention putting a booster in the effects loop so I’ll try that. I have a number of booster pedals - Diamond, xotic Ep as well a number of dirt pedals that I can set as always on or boost including Tumnus, lovepedal E6, mooer, miaudio, Manticore, JHS Milkman. I think my favourite is the Diamond and the Tumnus. But I’ve only used it as the first pedal. Great vid. Thanks

  • @ChrisMedici
    @ChrisMedici 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great demo. I play an Epiphone 335 PRO (with coil-splitting). After experimenting, I've settled on putting my EP Booster after my OCD pedal. (The EP Booster is always on because it warms up the clean signal.) When I had the EP before the OCD, the RAT and Russian Pickle, I lost a lot of clarity - it was just a tsunami of sounds.

  • @GTX1123
    @GTX1123 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Running a clean boost in the effects loop of your tube amp opens up a whole new world of possibilities. In this config the boost not only increases your output signal to cut through the mix for your solos but also offers GREAT options for different tones. By bypassing your preamp, you are isolating the boost pedal's effect on the power section of your amp which is almost like adding additional channels into your amp depending on how you combine the boost with or without running dist in front of the preamp. This works well when you are using a hotter dist pedal like the Pinnacle - especially in an amp that is biased a bit hotter. It's a real game changer because it can mimic the same amp dynamics of a dimed up classic Marshall amp in terms of the effect your guitar volume has on tone and dynamics. Here are several options this config offers; Option 1) by foot switching off your distortion pedal and engaging the boost, it can really FATTEN up your clean tones. Option 2) by engaging both dist pedal and boost but rolling your guitar volume way back, it gives you something in between clean and crunch with a lot of bottom and depending on your amp settings, can clean up surprisingly well. Option 3) by running your dist pedal with the boost off, you can dial in good rhythm crunch tones and then engage the boost for solos to cut over the top of the mix. So there you have it. Versatility at its finest...

  • @justinsnyder5567
    @justinsnyder5567 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I've tried all kinds of combinations. Definitely loved having a JHS modified soul food after my OCD for a lead boost, but it doesn't look like a lot of people here have done that. I really love the coloration that I got out of it. Currently using a mini Red Dirt into my OCD, the opposite configuration. Being the only guitar player in the band I don't feel that I need to dramatically increase my volume for leads. I'm sure the soul food would work just as well but I really like the soft clip of the mini Red Dirt. I see a lot of hate for pedal couplers like you are using, a lot of people say they destroy the jacks on the pedals. Being that those are not Straight Shaft couplers do you think that that would reduce wear and tear on the jacks?

      TS9 into OCD is an instant classic tone. I loooove it. I think a Tumnus might be even BETTER though!

      That's how I'm running right now . Ego,tumnus,OCD,epboost. But I may shuffle the comp and boost around over time.

    My favorite combos were the TS before the OCD and the Tumnus after it. I like to run boosts with flexible EQ controls after my other pedals so I can shape them to better fit the context/room, etc. Planning to get the Wampler Equator for just such purpose!

      @MrBallynally2 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep.TS drops lows and highs, making the OCD more effective, then boost it w the wampler..
      In fact, i prefer a different Plexi style to the OCD..

      I think the ts boosting into the ocd is the best guitar sound in this video as well. But then again I feel like in a band setting, you need your boost to, well, boost

  • @michaelarthurmusic307
    @michaelarthurmusic307 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Excellent video. This video with the OCD adjusted with 40% less drive would be nice. I have a few of your pedals and love them - Tumnus Deluxe after the Dual Fusion is my preferred setup.

  • @robertprice5039

    I actually like a Klon Style Pedal, set relatively clean, as a lead boost after the Overdrive Pedal. I really like the tone shaping characteristics that a Klon Style Pedal has, versus something like an MXR Micro Amp.

    My boy! Great video, again, me learn many much from you Wampy man. I have often wondered how to stack your Dracarys. Generally them types of highhhh gaiiinnnz pedals like to be before an OD to take out sum of that sizz. Might you be interested in demonstrating that pleeeeaasseeeee?

    I just bought a phase shifter guitar effects pedal smallstone and it is great. Seems like it is being used a booster for all my effects so far! )

  • @stevemueller4703

    For boosting leads I run my MXR Micro Amp through the effects loop. 👍

  • @skotrock
    @skotrock 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    For me, a lot of it depends on how you are using your amp. If I have, say a 15 watt amp cranked, a boost isn't going to get much volume boost because the amp is already at its limit. In that situation I use the boost as a drive, and then follow it with an overdrive, using the tone control as a cutting device, making the leads like a laser beam. But with an amp set so that there is a lot of headroom available, I would possibly do the opposite.

    I have and use a Fender HRD 3. Love it. I'm a gigging musician and play the clubs every week. I use an OCD and a Tubescreamer TS9 together on my pedalboard, and I push them through the clean channel. The OCD is my main sound - I use my guitar volume knobs to adjust my tone as desired - by using my guitar volume knobs, I am in better control of my rig and can dial in on the fly pretty much anything from slight crunch to balls out overdrive. I use my TS9 BEFORE the OCD to BOOST the OCD for solos and lead work- and it works beautifully !... you can even roll off your guitar volume when both pedals are engaged ( for solos) and it gives you a stronger feel and really good tone. Your guitar volume knobs are so important in dialing in good TONE. MY OCD is set at the low power setting on top, volume at 10-11, drive at 10-11 also, tone at 12. TS9 is set at volume 20clock, drive at 0, tone 12oclock. My Fender HRD3 clean channel volume is maybe at 2.5 - 3 ( it's club loud at this level). NOTE: I also push a 6 band BOSS EQ through my effects loop next to my WAMPLER TAPER ECHO and I have the best frickin tone. The EQ in the loop allows me to push the amp harder, but control the volume and still add some bass and mids - it's like taking a thick blanket off your amp and letting just breath and open up. Sorry so long. hope it helps.

    I’m looking forward to trying my TS9 into my OCD it sounded really good on the video.
    I’ve got a replica of a Texas Range Master that I used to push the OCD with too that gave me a big sound full of sustain.

    I have the Spark Booster by TC Electronic and I usually run it before my dirt pedals which change quite a bit. My SB is usually on the mid boost setting but I've used the clean and fat settings on occasion as well.

  • @robertprice5039
    @robertprice5039 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    My main Overdrive is a Way Huge Saucy Box, but I do have a Pantheon coming in a few days. I will use a Friedman Golden Pearl in front of in to punch the gain up a notch. I then have a Euphoria after the Saucy Box, as a volume boost. The Euphoria is set to the open setting, and I love the tone and bass controls to dial out the fizz and boominess.

  • @Tradcraft1692

    I like the clean boost after the dirt pedals. Brent Mason runs a Creation Audio Labs MK 4.23 Boost after your Wampler Hot Wired V2 and the sound is killer!

  • @jonathanmoon9372
    @jonathanmoon9372 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    EHX platform comp w/ boost, Tumnus Deluxe, EHX Extortion, the mods + effects, and Empress EQ w/ boost slamming the front of the amp. I really like pedals that have boost built in, it enables you to push the effects more to the front. I actually wouldn’t mind having a boost between each pedal on my board. It gives you a lot more control over each sound.
    I’m like a midget staring at a wall, I love a little boost!

  • @ishancooper

    Hey Brian! I’ve been using a clean boost (always on) for years now. After all my drives currently but sometimes before certain high gain pedals to get them extra hairy.
    Always wondered if the clean boost is technically supposed to go before or after modulation/delay pedals though in case of clipping. The boost fattens up the clean tone signal into the amp, but is it too much for the headroom of other pedals after?

  • @ethanlancaster76
    @ethanlancaster76 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Route 66 Comp/OD with both sides on is the best pedal I’ve found for boosting your signal before distortion, if you can make it work quietly. Which can be sorcery, especially with single coils.

  • @pitamoncha2112
    @pitamoncha2112 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you Brian, very informative and insightful. I have a TC Spark in the effects loop of an AC 30 S1 just so I get a boost in solos. I'm in a 2 guitar + Keyboard classic Rock band and I need to push the volume in order to be heard. Also, I can access most classic Rock tones except for higher gain. I am going to try putting my DB boost before my tumnus and Voodoo Lab Sparkle Drive Mod to see if I can get a higher gain tone. Any other suggestions?

  • @warrentriantafelo5326
    @warrentriantafelo5326 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Favorite boost: Xotic RC booster. I put it before distortion pedals, because I like to use it to make my Strat single coils sound hotter.

  • @chriskerrick1452

    Hello Brian,
    I run the Tumnus Before my K O T i also run the old Wampler Decibel boost after the K O T for a boost jump in my band. i play southern rock and country so i like it dirty southern rock style. Love all that you do thank you for your help

  • @TheInsanityofGab

    this video has convinced me that klons and tube screamers (or really anything mid rangey) need to be before other ods and distortions, cause if theyre after the sound gets this weird kinda lofi radio quality to it. I was having this issue with a klon type pedal a few months back and I just couldn't figure it out without rearranging my whole board.

  • @aj81ds

    I'm playing a Blackstar HT 1R Combo using the onboard overdrive with an EP Booster with an Audio Alchemy Switch mod. The EPB is between my amp and guitar as an always on pedal with the knob set between 10-11 O'clock and the switches in the Vintage (less bass) or sometimes Default mode (more bass). This pedal really brings the thin and boxy 8" speaker to life. It adds warmth and bass to the overall tone of the amp. I'm also using it with an LTD 256 FM Guitar which is a humbucker guitar so I tend to favor the Vintage mode on the EPB.

  • @Stephen-uk2in

    Just spent most of my day deciding where to put my Union Tube & Transistor More boost when I start building my new board. I always kept it at the end of the chain right before the amp, but I've also ordered an Empress Buffer+ which has a boost in it, so I thought I wouldn't really want to put the boost I already have directly into a new boost. After a lot of experimenting, the More just sounds so much better as the last thing in the chain! Going to be interesting to see how it plays with the boost in the buffer pedal when it arrives!
