THICK lead sound pedal?

[heath]

One of my favorite lead boosts for an amp was the Xotic EP booster in the FX loop. I usually ran the dip switches set to the darker setting and unity volume, and the knob on the front all the way down. When engaged it adds about 1.5-2 db and also darkens the top end while pushing the mids slightly. If you need a bigger jump in volume, you just switch the dip switch for the volume boost. You can also add saturation if you want with the knob on the front.

Gonza makes his sound fat and brown.. he has the 20 watt too.

I have no experience with this pedal, but the Ibanez BB9 Bottom Booster may just do what you want it to. Kind of like a tube screamer where the bottom isn't aggressively filtered. Sad nomenclature though for a pedal.

I'll say it again.. Get a Hot Mod V2 EVO. Best thing you can do to a Runt. The extra gain stage and bass boost turns it into a beast. MUCH punchier, fatter, and leads absolutely scream.

I use a Charvel with fairly hot pickups, Friedman Runt 20w into a one speaker V30 Cab and I kind of struggle getting my lead sound to have enough brown-ness/fatness I love. I've tried a BB Preamp and a Dumble clone pedal as well as my EQ boost for volume. Tried a Blues Driver but it was a bit too harsh, any pedal to recommend for a BIG 80s lead sound?

Cheers!

Charvel with hot pups, Friedman Runt 20, 1x12 V30 cab + x = fat/brown lead tone....

More mids, volume and less gain from the amp
