Izzy Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Yeah, I know if you want it to sound like a LP then just USE the LP... BUT the seedy venue I intend on going to is not a place I wanna take a heavy guitar. Also, if I get held up, I'd rather loose a Mustang and a Pathfinder than an LP. So, the Pathfinder is a cheap amp, but it sounds cool in terms of punk...I do not kick up the gain much, set the Vol on 10. Mustang with HB on bridge is set to ten on both tone and volume. It sounds decent enough, but I was wondering if a pedal would help the tone a bit. I don't want to increase the volume to the point that it distorts more than it already is....pre-crunch is good, but I do want to fatten this up a bit. I figured an overdrive pedal would push the amp past break-up and make it all dirty... a boost pedal is all I can think of to help besides an EQ pedal. Any other ideas? Thinking strings can go to 10s without adjusting the guitar... BTW, I do not use any other pedals atm. Try to keep it simple though I'd rather add the $50 1lbs pedal than carry a heavier guitar and amp combo to the wrong side of town, lol. Thanks in advance.

Rabs Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 This Xoctic one sounds pretty cool too (I did some research on these mini boosts a short while back :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxson50 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 The EH 44 Magmun may just be the ticket. Add the Holy stain and a 4x10 box and your done.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon S. Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 $40 new +1. They're hard to beat for the price. The MXR Micro amp and Fulltone Fat Boost are a couple other good ones that can be found used pretty cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btoth76 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Hello Izzy! +1 on Xotic EP Booster. It also has a fat and a bright switch inside it's case. I have moved them out to the from panel, so I can adjust it anytime easily. Best wishes... Bence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHTom Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I have the TC Electronics Spark Boost........not the mini, and I love it. Great pedal that can go from fully clean boost to adding a nice chunk of dirt. Really quite impressed with it. NHTom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milod Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 All I can add is "best of luck." I've used real Leslie and Leslie emulators and the B3 emulator for blues since the '70s, but in my rock and country era only really the volume pedal - nothing else. OTOH, I more than certainly know what you're talking about in terms of a questionable gig environment. The advantage to a master volume or volume pedal on guitar/bass used to be that when a fight broke out it was easy to up the volume to cover the sound and venue owners tended to appreciate that. And... another advantage to a good Fender neck on a solidbody is that it can be used roughly like a bayonet if necessary. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Probably the best thing you could use is an EQ to shape the freq response and output to be more silimar to a humbucker, but don't let anyone tell you that they've got a pedal that will turn your mustang into an LP. It ain't gonna happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
