Quick Question about your boost pedal

[Sick Michael]

How much does everyone goose their boost (ha! nice phrase Michael).

I go back and forth. Im dimeing it at the moment, but really just for leads.

 

[fek]

Almost dimed on most days. If things seem overly gainy, roll the level back to 6 or 7.

 

[Sick Michael]

Guess it depends on the guitar... I play a stratocaster, and it seems to me that no amount of gain is too much.

 

[Techdeth]

Mines at half usually .

 

[romanianreaper]

On my Griffin "Boris" and Keeley Noble Screamer, I typically have level at 2 o'clock or so and then a bit of Gain.

 

[Shask]

Level between 1 and 3 o'clock, but it really depends on the pedal and how much volume it has available.

 

[D-Rock]

I double boost with a GE-7 and BD-2 using half of each to create 1 boost with the GE-7 level at unity gain and the BD-2 level below 12 o clock. This gives the best from both pedals and prevents that overloaded COSM tone from slipping through when you push Boss gain pedals hard.

 

[stratjacket]

About 3 o’clock and a little higher.

 

[Rawwwburrrt]

Usually up 3/4 of the way

I've really gotten away from boosts, as for some reason they all just seem to impart a thing I don't like. At least when playing alone. When in a mix, it doesn't seem to matter as much. Nowadays I wind up going back to the ol' GE-7, as the TS stuff sounds too much like a TS, and the SD stuff sounds too much like an SD

 

[Soundstorm]

Usually 1 or 2 o'clock. Never full on, gets too flubby for my low tuned guitars usually. But it depends if it's a sculpted boost or a full range boost.

 

[anomaly]

On my maxon OD808 I keep the level cranked, drive off and tone at about 1 o'clock. If that is too much I just lower the gain on my amp.
