I've read a number of threads on booster pedals, but have not yet found a satisfactory answer. I play my mandolins into a Fishman Loudbox. Sometimes I need a little boost for soloing. As the Loudbox has tone and anti-feedback controls I would prefer a simple boost pedal over an EQ pedal.
I've looked at reviews here and at other sites and lots op possibilities have come up: MXR Line driver, Katana Cleanboost, TC Sparkle, Xotic EP - to name but a few.
Right now I have an EWS Subtle Volume, but that is a little too subtle for me. Soundwise I would like the booster to be as clean as possible and not add harshness to my sound. I play two very different mandolins: an Eastman OH (round sound) and a modern resonator mandolin (very present) so need a neutral booster that will serve them both (though not at the same gig: I usually play only one of them at gigs).
Any suggestions?
