BadCat Unleash with Pink Taco

[guitarmike]

Dave, do you see any reason I shouldn't use the Bad Cat Unleash with my Pink Taco? I need a solo boost and this seems like the ideal way to get one.

Thanks -

Should work. Never tried the unit though.

Why not just put a transparent boost pedal in the loop? This approach would cost you less than $100, versus over $400 for the Unleash.....

That is what I do now and it works ok. I do not want to use the effects loop and there is no other way to get a lead boost. Plus the unleash may allow me to push the amp at lower volumes. It is not like a BE-100, it needs some volume to sound good.

Why? Is the FX loop bad on these amps?

 

[RACKSYSTEMS]

Yeah why no loop? It runs through the loop all the time anyway.

I wanted to be able to run the amp at volumes over .75 so I thought the Unleash would kill 2 birds with one stone. A solo boost and attenuation. However I figured a different way around it that is working pretty good, good enough to try at a gig this Saturday:

I have a Seymour Duncan Pickup booster in the loop and that is working great for a solo boost. I did figure out what the Pink Taco needed (at least mine) to really sound as good as the BE and that is a Boss EQ in the loop. I can adjust for different speakers and I can turn the volume down some which allows me to turn the amp volume up some. Problem solved.
