Majik Box Rocket Fuel vs Suhr Koko Boost

[fek]

I am not sure I can really hear much of a difference using earbuds. Both are very similar.

 

[crwnedblasphemy]

Yeah..RF has a bit more hair/fuzz. Sometimes recording direct using a boost can be detrimental, sometimes it works great. Depends.

 

[sandman]

I liked the Koko best.

 

[tonesfoyobones]

Have to agree. RF has more hair and with this comparison I prefer the Koko. Some amps/guitars would benefit greatly from that added hair of the RF. In the end I would rather have the Koko regardless.

Koko...as always nice chops man...

 

[Shredfever]

Nice comparison! I have the RF and love it, but in your demo I think I prefer the KoKo in this setup.

 

[HilltopExplosion]

Yeah, Majik has more hair/fuzz , nice playin' and glad to hear the 80's style riffs!

Koko is a fantastic pedal. Wish he would make one with two mid boosts! I live there and love it for rythm wishing it could be kicked on for more when going lead.

I love my koko boost quite a bit. What i have been doing with it with my smallbox is i will max out the gain on the small box and run the koko boost at unity. It is essentially a very quiet easy to use eq pedal at that point. I could see how you would need some level with a plexi style amp though.

No doubt the Koko sounds a LOT better. Some great tone there. I love my Koko boost, so many applications for it...boost, tweakable mid boost, buffer(a very good one too), signal leveler between guitars.....Just one of those pedals that's a keeper for years to come. John knocked it out of the park with that pedal for sure! Not to mention the switching options are awesome and it's built like a tank. I will never get rid of mine!

 

[mniel8195]

you should really try a klon clone. I don't like it for super high gain but it does something very special with my small box plexi ch.

Nice comparo. I've had both and prefer the Koko as well.

 

[firejack]

Koko definitely sounds cleaner.
I had a Rocket Fuel a few years ago and didn't like the overdrive side of the pedal.
But the boost side on it's own was so nice that I ended up flipping the Rocket Fuel and replacing it with a Majik Box Venom Boost instead.

 

[Kapo_Polenton]

The overdrive side really does have that gritty Aldrich sound to it though.. I always found his tone razor sharp and crisp and this is what hear with the pedal. Great if you want to play Whitesnake but I prefer the cleaner pushed sounds.
