Boost Pedals for Marshall’s, what’s great?

I’ll throw in another rec for the Suhr Koko. Really enjoyed it with my Plexi’s and 5150 sig. I don’t use the clean boost all that much but the mid boost I use quite a bit. To the far left it gets a good grunt or “gurnt” as I like to call it for heavier stuff. To the far right it’s in the ballpark of a TS mid boost.

I’d hit up Griffin though and get something cooler.

MXR 6-Band EQ in front of your OD.

I use one along with an MXR Custom Badass Modified OD, and the pairing works quite well. The EQ adds a bit more grit, and you can better carve the frequencies. And lets you get it tight AF.

Of many tried over the years... Timmy V2, GA Chiron, and the surprise of 2025 is the Wampler Tumnus Deluxe.

A Chase Tone Secret Pre is nice as a subtle boost.

Set at about 2 o'clock you get a 3db push. Just enough to add a bit more compression and gain, and the three position tone switch lets you tweak where the frequencies are boosted more- high, mid, or low.

Shur Koko v1
Rimrock Mythical Overdrive Klon
VFE Standout

I have a Studio Jubilee and use a Keeley Blues Disorder or Super Rodent with it or my Griffin Super Drive (Boris Frankenstein".

Klon KTR or Maxon OD808X for me. OD808X for more teeth or KTR for more thickness. That said, just saw a bunch of recommendations for the Koko Boost Googled to see what prices are doing and found an original at a good price - now on its way to me. Damn this forum

I've been tempted to try that Tumnus Deluxe, but I've read too many say it's tubby, or colors too much?

Boss SD-1.

Ibanez PTEQ Pentatone 5-band Parametric EQ or Source Audio EQ-2

Like already mentioned. A VFE Standout. It will drive the Marshall differently than the Dragon.

None of my experience. It can do what you want the claw to do, but you can dial back the meds in the game to get it more of a transparent boost. Just tonight, I was running the volume all the way up in the game all the way down in the trouble in the mid knob at about 2 o’clock and the base at about 11 and I was getting a great rock Tone reminiscent of/on the illusion albums.

I think it’s pretty well overlooked overall, but it’s very versatile

Maxon OD808X
Lichtlaerm Audio King in Yellow

+2

Also saw people mention the dirty tree, which is great. The King in Yellow is my favorite boost

Not the typical answer but my favorite is an adjustable gain echoplex preamp. Think Wayne builds one

This is very much in that realm...I use it at the end of the signal chain when it’s on my board, love mine

Personally my favorite is Waynes lightspeed clone, right now

I just got a GLO a couple weeks ago but haven't tried it with a Marshall yet. I'll try that later today.

Usually for me it's an EQ and I really like the old big box Boss GE10. Except that it's so damn big and doesn't have an LED.

I would start here





The Chiron ( Klon clone ) is in my top three ...

The Super Dupah Drive is also a really good one ... about as versatile as you can get for a SD-1

there's a few more options here

but when it comes to drives , boosts , fuzzes and distortions I can pretty much build you anything

Do you have a website we can purchase from? Long time member but rarely post and don’t have enough posts for the classifieds.

do you have enough posts to DM me ?

 

[tallcoolone]

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.

Anything with a pulse and a diode. It all works. It is also one of the most common threads on RT so you would probably find 12,000 responses on this subject. Summary.. TS / SD anything.
