What other boosts should I try with my Marshall’s? I’m running a silver jubilee and an 800. Here’s what I have at the moment. The Friedman is my least favorite so looking for something to put in its place. I like options. This board is just for boosting the Marshall’s.

Looks like you’ve already got a lot. Some other boosts I really like:

RAT
Dirty Tree
any EQ with an overall level control
Blues Driver
 
You’re probably gonna hate to hear this but the Behringer Superfuzz SF300 has a top shelf boost on it.
 
I used to use a VS J&H before switching to the Rockett Blue Note. The Blue Note is pretty transparent and worked really well with a strat+plexi and ES/LP+Twin. Even has a hot switch for more gain if you can't get the amp cooking at the level you'd like. The Rockett Animal is similar but takes the gain even further.
 
You already have some good choices on your board. Others I'd try might be-
OD1X
Fortin NATAS Dist pedal(keeping the gain low on the pedal is key, this is maybe the best boost pedal I've ever tried)
Boss GE 10
 
Greer Light speed

TC Pre or clone of it

KSR Eros

Any decent Klone


None of these are ridiculously expensive or hard to find or anything


Personally my favorite is Waynes lightspeed clone, right now
 
OP - you may want to just list the pedals you own because you are getting suggestions for stuff you already have :lol:

So Dirty Tree or a Suhr Koko Boost :dunno:

Yeah I figured people would look at the picture. I’ve had so many boost pedals over the years that I’m looking for something new and fresh.
 
The SD-1 you have in front of a JCM 800 can be good to great. In my personal experiece the the Griffin Analog Super Drive is better.
Original Koko boost is also an excellent choice. The right side of the pedal. Great boost and works well as a lead (volume) boost if you crank the knob all the way as long as you dont have too much compression happenning. 800+Griffin Super drive for main sound, then add Koko for leads is what Ive been doing at rehearsal with drums, bass and another guitar player. But the Koko as a boost by itself is great and a dif flavor than the SD. More aggresive to my ears.
TC Spark is also good. Maybe even better than the Koko as a volume boost. I've been using the mini Spark the last few weeks and at our last rehearsal. I have a full size Spark delivering tomorrow. Looking forward to that. 26db boost compared to the mini Spark's 20db.
Side note, I ha e an original Koko for sale in the classifieds because I have 2 of them. ;)
