Stupid question: how do boost pedals (generally) play with solid state amps?
I use a Peavey Studio (basically a bandit) as a clean platform and then add pedals in front. I'm very happy with the sound but sometimes I think I want a booster of some kind just to add a bit of that special something but I've never been sure whether a booster into a SS amp would just sound a bit crap?
Last night at band we tried tuning down to D standard (drop c for a few tracks) - we really liked the lower tuning, bit less of "classic rock" vibe than our usual Eb. Problem is it made my tone lose any kind of punch/thickness/weight behind it. Exact same setup and room as last week but it just wasn't right. I've got some thicker strings on the way but can this be remedied with a boost? Or do we need to grow up and tune back up?
Annoyingly I didn't take my TS808 clone to try - I don't like that at home but would it sort me out in this situation? I know it can be useful for that sort of thing. Likewise the rat.
Any real difference between TS variants like the 808/ts9/sd1 etc ? With the gain low and using as a boost is there any difference between asymmetrical and symmetrical clipping?
