What’s your favorite lead boost volume tool?

I love Lehle gear; haven't seen that pedal before though. I gotta check dat out

Gatdamn it's a pricey mofo

Debating on trying a clean boost, eq, and possibly just a wah pedal to make those kids jump out in the mix when it’s lead time. As I run a delay in the loop, I really want something in the front of the amp with a volume boost.

Creation Audio Labs Mk.4:23Pro 48V model - which I believe is discontinued but their standard Mk.4:23 is absolutely awesome as well.

And I've not changed my opinion of this pedal since getting it well over a decade ago (feel free to search my posts).

lehle volume 90 has this also. I love that pedal. i like to use it in the bedroom just to have my practice volume, then my FEELING IT volume...

haven't even looked at it but anything starting with the letters LEHLE gets an immediate thumbsup from me

Yeah. The only reason I went for it is because i read about all the other volume pedals breaking and having to replace shit. I can't remember if this one works off a magnet or lazer or what, but great reviews

Thanks everyone! Lots of options. I appreciate them. Spent some time with my amp tonight at rehersal. Not sure if I mentioned in the post it’s a Bogner Atma. Technically I have a lead booster ready in channel 3, as it has a shared EQ with channel 2. My goal was to set up the channels as a lower gain/higher gain deal, and boost both for leads. I’ve never been a boost/distortion guy..yup..THAT guy…Want my dirt from the amp without pedals… but if someone had posted in another thread it really doesn’t matter how you get it! Good tone is good tone. So my plan is keeping what I have now..clean/dirty/lead, and adding a Bogner XTC Blue pedal to use on the clean channel as a smoother, more classic rock dirt sound.

Volume pedal with a minimum volume knob (like the morley little alligator) in the loop

Is this the active type wah where you don't have to depress all the way to activate? Seems like that would be the way to go in a loop especially. I had volume pedal once but never tried it in the loop. Obviously, an EQ in the loop is a very powerful tool. I have an MX10 in my loop and had the Dano 6 band before that.

Yeah, as long as it's plugged in it is on, and moving the treadle at all changes the volume. So with the minimum volume knob, you set it to where heel down is your rhythm tone, and toe down is lead boost
