A HM-2 was my first pedal evar waayy back in 84 or so. 70's Fender Musicmaster-HM-2-70's Fender Vibro Champ was the first rig. Would love to revisit an old mij one today but they are more than I want to pay. As a consolation the SD-1 in the pic is mij.Where's your Boss HEAVY METAL pedal?....................geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh............

I´m only a fan of slight boosting, for me it never works out slamming the input. Lots of folks dig it and sound good that way, but it´s not for me. But getting a boost dialed in juuust right into a Super Lead-ish amp, pure heaven.

I was just razzzing ya.............That's a great collection of boosts my friend!
I started with an 70's greenish yellow MXR Distortion+ and a Boss SD-1. At the time I preferred the ole MXR Dist+. I tried the Suhr two button it as cool but I didn't luv it.Since then I've settled on Boss and MXR EQ's for shaping and slight boost in to my Plexi's and SL's and I have an SRBOD808 that has three way clipping so it can do 808 or SD-1 and no clippers at all and for metal stuff I like the Maxon ST9 pro+ and my VFE Standout.
I still like the Maxon OD808 though they really have that it thing going on with them.

The Koko and a basic SD-1 pretty much never leave my board. I rarely even give another OD more than a day or two before I go back to one of those two.

Man I’m pretty addicted to the mid boost side of my Koko. I just have it cracked a hair over unity (so like -9 o’clock) with the freq switch to the left. Kills in my 5150. Sounded like ass in my Helios until I swapped the tubes out and it’s back to my main bang. I don’t use the clean boost as much with higher output pickups but it’s great with my 335.
Since I got into Plexi’s after excusing myself from tan pants land it’s been refreshing to just be looking at boosts and nabbing up a metric shit ton of them just for fun.

I picked up a Koko v1 and I'm still trying to bond with it. I've never really bonded with SD-1's either, actually an OD-1 seems to work better for me as it has a very particular notched/cocked sound to it.
I don't really boost that much, but if I do, then I seem to prefer a TS10 or a Klon type circuit.

I have a nice clone of those old 14-pin OD1s, it is very particular indeed. Not that similar to the SD1, which was a surprise, and like you say it´s one big squawk of mids and nothing else. Really brash in that way, which can be cool but also awfully thin in some rigs.
When I´m not looking for a typical OD sound - where you can hear it´s a TS or some such - I mostly use the TC Booster+. It´s a little juicier than a clean, flat boost to begin with, and the bass and treble knobs lets you tuck away exactly what you need when the level goes upp a bit. The corners on those filters are very useful, keeps a nice and full tone but rolls out the flub and trebly hash.
