Nontransparent Booster pedal for Strat and Tele

[MBFX]

I really like simple, transistor based boosts for this kind of thing. A Rangemaster, or an LPB-1, or an Electra if you want a little more grit.

As I recently posted here, the Broadcast is my favourite for exactly this - beefing up a Strat. But the Colorsound OD is also excellent for this.

Chop Shop has been mentioned, and I also really like Champ Stamp, both at 18v. (Both are also transistor based boosts, which I’ve come to generally prefer.) Chop Shop doesn’t have any EQ controls, but is dialed in to somehow work with all my guitars anyway.

I really should give the broadcast another shot.

I really like using a Mach 1 (greer lightspeed) set cleanish.

OP could build all the low part boosters instead of one big box. Add DAM Red Rooster (Rangemaster) to the list. Edit: „big box“ means no 5 knob boosters, only the small ones

+1 on the Rangemaster or any variant. I've had great luck with the Haunting Mids after a compressor. Sounds good in front as well, the compressor tries to flatten out the mid hump and the result is pretty sustainy and cool.

Thats great news. I completed a Speedy Sheep and will box it on the weekend.
