Recommend a Boost + Overdrive in one

kswilson89

Does anybody have suggestions for which boost + overdrive pedal I should buy? I don't want two separate pedals and I'm looking for something pretty touch responsive.

Cheers

plenty of options..

at the top end strymon sunset or kingsley jester.


cheaper good options I've had are trex gristle king or the trex moller,  HBE power screamer is an excellent pedal as well.

Not tried many to compare against TBH but I really like the Jet City Afterburner. Plenty of tweakability and LEDs to tell you when you have the o/drive & boost kicked in. It is also built like a tank. Not that expensive either altho I picked mine up in NYC & bought it home.

The TRex Moller is a good shout although it's a fairly mild OD. I would also go for the v2 version with the toggle switch (from a reliability perspective)

just a few that spring to mind 

amp 11 
box of rock
carpe diem 
full drive 2 

theres probably a whole load more to be found once you get stuck into some solid googling

Zvex Double Rock or Box of Rock, I've got a Double Rock and it's fantastic.

Okko Diablo Gain+ or GH

Fuengi

Bought a DOD Looking Glass a couple of months ago, have not turned it off yet.

It's got a subtle yet clear voice, goes from clean boost to higher gain grit and a variety of tones on tap via the filters. Stacks really well with overdrive and fuzz. 

Not for everyone, but if you are trying out pedals I'd recommend a test.

Visual Sound/True Tone VS-XO is you can find one. Incredible dual OD pedal with so much versatility - can go from absolute clean boost to fairly heavy/saturated OD

TRex Moeller is exactly what you require

Corvus

Bogner La Grange has independent post-dirt boost.
Weehbos like JCM & JVM have boost but think only work when dirt is on (iirc), if that matters.

Rodenberg Gas 827 - killer pedal with a mass of switchable options

Twin Stomp. 

You can have two drives either the same sound or two different voices, two boosts, one with more gain than the other or a drive and a boost depending on which pedal you choose

Oddly enough I've just recommended exactly this to someone in a PM! How bizarre. It was a Timmy into a Big Omar. Which I think will work rather nicely (won't be able to test this out until tomorrow to be sure). But yeah, I can do that. Multi-pedals are kind of my thing...

EDIT: Interesting experiment. They do work well together, but like stacking a boost after a Klone or most other OD's, both on at the same time does bring the noise floor up somewhat. Indeed it's why in my multi that I did that was a comp, Kingslayer (Klonish) and boost, I ended up putting a noise gate on the end of the OD before it went into the booster. Really made it into something epic.
