School me on boosts

[fek]

I went on an OD bender over the past 5 years or so and after trying lots of boutique, modded, and expensive pedals, I am down to a Koko v1 that works great with everything, a SD1 for Marshall's, and a TS9 for 5150 and Rectifier types.

Guys, he’s clearly not asking about clean boosts.

Oh, I just assumed because he didn't specify in the title and there are so may options I'd offer up a suggestion.

Agreed, the V1 Koko still kicks ass. All I need.

The Koko v1 is a fantastic boost ?

It’s so different. You literally lose nothing . Just adds some . Does not do that suck the low end out thing

Get a SD1 and a 808 for the start.
For the djenty stuff it`s either a Dirty Tree or a Precision Drive.

Fortin Hex Drive.

My Keeley D&M pedal smokes with both a boost and drive that can he used together, different order, etc. Sounds better than my Tube Screamer and not as harsh.

Not ubiquitous or cheap but the Wizard Panther works with a range of amps. It shocked me. Clip or boost and an impressively useful tone sweep. Gets broootal if you want it

Get a SD-1 and a TS and find out which one you like more and go from there

Yep, the vast majority of boosts out there are minor tweaks on these two, which only have minor differences between them. I've gone through a pile of boosts over the years, and the humble ole' SD-1 is what still sets on the board. (The TS would be what I'd use for more of a smoother boost. The SD-1 is a bit nastier....just a bit.)
