Best clean boost pedal?

[ExpatGirl]

Hi Guys,
Can anyone recommend a good clean boost pedal and say why you like it? Thanks in advance.

EP booster for simplicity's sake.

I've brought this up before, but I really like the Jetter Jet Drive for both boost and drive. It's basically two overdrives in one pedal. Both are independent (you can run either or both). I set the first side for a nice clean boost and the other for a good bluesy drive. Then, I just pick and choose what I need.

I have one set to Zero all the time on, just makes you sound better, so I am considering getting another EP to use as a boost.

The White BB Booster, because it most certainly adds a very clean boost at low settings, to drive an amp harder, but also offers a soft Marshall type OD when the drive is turned up, and very quiet.

EP Booster. I have 2. I set for Vintage & one for Top Boost (Factory Default) Of course, one white & 1 black.

Another vote for the EP Booster

I've used the Fulltone Fat Boost in the past with great results.

I find that the HX/DA and my former Two-Rocks didn't need a boost pedal in front. Neither did the Mesa Mk V. Other amps did, however.

I have 3 different boosts:
Klon (silver) - love it ! (bought it new back when they were reasonable)
EP Boost - really is amp dependent, but with the right amp it is amazing
Fulltone Fat boost (v3) - a nice all around boost pedal, rugged

My current set up is a PRS DGT - Klon Centaur - Victoria Ivy League (tweed Harvard)

I like my EP Boost as well. Can't quite remember the Klon (when I had one) but it was excellent too - as you can see from the current price tag.

For quite a while I've been using a Suhr KoKoBoost. I like the choice of either a general boost or a mid-range boost. I recently pulled it off the board in favor of the tube-driven Black Box from Red Iron Amps. I don't have a great vocabulary to describe what it does other than when I turn it on it always feels like I just took a blanket off when I didn't even know it was under a cover.

Xotic makes great booster pedals. If you want a simple boost, the EP works great. If you want to be able to control the bass, treble, and gain...the RC Booster pedal is nice. Go here http://www.xotic.us/effects/ and read which one would best suit your needs. Good luck!

Put me down as another vote for the EP boost , I like mine a lot.
I also use a Seymour Duncan pickup booster mostly with single coil guitars .
It has 25 db boost and a switch to change the pickups' resonance to simulate a humbucker
Combine that with a 6db boost and you can sound like you have a HB in a strat for 8 bars of a solo ,
then go back to a single coil for the verses. Add 25 db boost and it's handy for crowd control

Thanks guys! I really appreciate all the feedback.

I read the posts and kept seeing EP Booster over and over again. Not knowing what it was or looked like, I Googled EP Booster and started laughing. One of the guys at my local guitar shop has been raving about this boost pedal he just started using. When I saw the photo on the Xotic website, I saw that his pedal is the EP Booster the one you guys have been recommending.

The various Echoplex boosters DO sound nice...really nice. However, my favorite is the Lizard Leg Flying Dragon. Adds just the right amount of "sizzle".

Currently using an MXR Micro-Amp. Clean boost, no noise & inexpensive too! rslogo:

I love the boost I get from my Effectrode PC-2A when the peak reduction knob is off or slightly on.
