I have an Xotic EP Boost (Echoplex circuit emulator/boost) that I put right in front of my RevivalDrive. I only give it a small boost, but I like what it does for the sound. I don't usually use it for distortion, because I can add that right on the RevivalDrive. The EP just pushes a slightly richer midrange into the RD that I love. (I don't ad top end with the internal dip switch, I'm just using the circuit) It also works nice at the end of the entire chain as an overall boost for everything, giving it a lift and a pleasing tonality.

They can boost, distort, and get the fuzz all with a volume knob. Fun conclusion. Get my reverb and trem from the amps, a Ripply Fall, and some delay. Always wet/dry/wet.

Personally, I prefer boosting into dirt. I run my drives lighter, and that has two important upshots. First, switching from chords to lead lines drops signal enough that you fall below the edge of breakup, so a boost can give that back. Second, even though you *do* get dirtier boosting into gain, I find that you also gain some volume on many gain pedals, especially if set "edgy" into a clean amp with some headroom. You guys had the Kaluna pretty cranked, so I'm not surprised it didn't let you get any louder in that setup, but depending on the circuit and the setting a boost into dirt can give you both louder and dirtier.

I use one pre and post gain, it allows you to keep the drive knob on the pedals at a lower level and it just creates a sound that is both massive and clear.

In the loop a little bit of boost goes a long way up the volume scale.

IME, in using lower output amps 20 watts and lower, gain staging with multiple pedals isn't the way to go.What is better is to start with an an amp that is close to what you are looking for, so the Drive is more fine tuning.I've generally found that putting Fuzzes up front where needed, the Drive and non sensitive Fuzzes mid chain, and a good high headroom EQ/Boost like the EQD Tone Job( I've tried many, and they are def are not all the same) at the end to finalize the overall tone and volume level.Pushing boosts into Drives with smaller amps is going to create mud; compressors and Treble Boosters are better for changing EQ and gain and sustain levels.Consider the possibility that all those multiple pedals could be doing more harm than good, or that they are better employed individually.Keep in mind the amps usually used on TPS vs. those you have.

Tried a Fulldrive 2 recently. At first I didn't get it, I expected the boost to give me more level. Once I realised it kicked the drive up a gear and I could set two levels of the same drive I was sold. I have always put boost after drive, even when stacking drives. I realise the newer ones do both but I kind of loved sculpting "my tone" with two levels and the volume on the guitar. Besides, I have several boosts and the top boost on my Vox to kick up the volume.

Are you using with compcut setting? The compcut with boost is amazing, I think, but I’ve never figured out how to set volume levels for drive on compcut and then kicking on the boost. The tone with boost is wonderful, but volume is crazy loud.

@@rasm0225 I have done but I prefer Full mids mode, but as you say it is a little out of control! I used it at a jam session for a cleaner boost once.

Vertex boost, because it's so transparent and doesn't color as most other boosts. Also has a buffer built in. That always on after my tube factor lets me use the volume pot of my tele to change the amount of overdrive without losing high frequencies. In front I can push the tube facor with a spark booster mini if wanted.

Hence the necessity for two boosts - one before and one after the gain stage. "Honey! Mick and Dan said I need a new pedal."
