Thanks to Todd, I thought that this little video would shed some light on some practical aspects of using a boost pedal. Check it out:
And here, an article which deals with comparing overdrive/boost pedals: http://www.bestcovery.com/best-guitar-drive-pedal. Some of them seem pretty pricey but it's always a good idea to read about what's out there Hope this helps! Cosmin |

Great vid!!! Puts the practical application of boosting in perfect context. Also, the link to the vids about building your own pedals is great!! You freaking RAWWWWWKKKKK!!!!!!
P.S. Is there a way to buy PCB pre done and other bits ready to go so the less engineery folks (like me) can put one together from a kit while still making decisions that impact that function/tone? P.P.S Your pedals sound GREAT can I buy them somewhere on the web? And do you take requests? I'd like a Misha Mansoor style boost pedal (see link below) with a "BLEND" knob that lets you blend in boosted clean, before it hits the drive circuit. Make sense? http://protonepedals.com/misha-mansoor-signature-overdrive/ You could call it the COSMIC (Cosmins overdrive split, mix in clean) Also a word play on your name and the word COSMIC since the tone would be out of this world Todd ' Thanks to Todd, I thought that this little video would shed some light on some practical aspects of using a boost pedal.

This video is very interesting. It's amazing how much you can learn just surfing youtube. In my case I use the "solo" of my Mesa Boogie amp when I want to increase the volume and an overdrive pedal when I want to get more gain and sustain.

Thats what made me ask you about custom building a pedal for Me and everybody else who would probably want one!! A nice Tube Screamer type Overdrive with a Blend knob would BOSS!!!!!!
