You guys have no idea how cool it is when I see my pedal on your boards.

i must've been MIA when this boost building was going down. what's the story?

It's all over the Pub, there's a 29 page thread on it.

I'm making my own twist on the EHX LPB-1

i think i'll do the same and post the current state of my board, i'm in love with this setup. simple but effective.

volume pedal>saltbooster>tuner

thats it, only delay is the only other effect i need of which i'm sorting out the fx loop switchy thing for.

Salt Boost from Mike came today, and I went out and bought enough patch leads for it and my JH-1, so now I've got "all my shit in one sock".

Shitty camera phone craic;

Considering I don't like pedals, I've racked up quite a few this year :s I'm not so sure what's best to put where in the line so if anyone can give any advice on it that'd be great :D

Guitar> Saltboost > Jackhammer > Tunamelt > Springking > sweetampyouluckybastard would be my choice for a gain boost with the Jackhammer.. put it afterwards for a VOLUME boost.

Cheers, bud. I think I want a volume boost from the Jackhammer as opposed to gain boost 'cause it's set to METAL.

Nice one Jon! Lovely to see it there with all your gear

FUCK that Salt Boost LED is bright, just flailing blinded myself.

Post by **Mike** » Thu Jun 12, 2008 10:37 pm

haha.. Sorry.

It's providing transparent bass boost technology.

I would do Jackhammer -> Tunamelt -> Spring King -> Saltboost if you want it as a volume boost, then it'll boost ALL your tones and not overdrive the potentially nasty input buffers on the Spring King or Tunamelt, it will punch your amp in the guts though.

Post by **Doog** » Thu Jun 12, 2008 10:54 pm

Actually, that is a good idea- I had it at the end of my chain for that very reason.

Post by **Mike** » Thu Jun 12, 2008 10:57 pm

It might yield cool results in the middle but most probably more squelch and compression than real volume.

I've only hit the amp head on with it because I use so few pedals these days. I'll try it with teh OCD etc when they arrive.

BobArsecake · Post by **BobArsecake** » Fri Jun 13, 2008 1:22 am

Hmm, the Spring King doesn't really need a boost 'cause it seems to be the depth (which I adjust all the time for different amp or general playing settings) of it that affects it more than the volume, which I keep on about 7 or 8 o'clock all the time. However I've still not played around with it as much as I ought to have. I'll play around with it how youse have said and then put the Spring King last and see how that is.

Cheers guys, I wasn't really sure where the boost'd be best 'cause in my daft brainbox I thought putting it first would boost everything as it'd "push the boost through" the other pedals :s Tit.

The best thing to do is just to experiment and work out what you like best, but my immediate reaction to what you said you wanted was to put it last.

You should also just try playing with the Booster as the only thing in your chain, using it to get crunch from your clean channel, or kick your crunch channel into metal territory.

BobArsecake · Post by **BobArsecake** » Fri Jun 13, 2008 11:00 am

Yeah I was piddling about with it on the clean and it makes the channel break up really nicely :D I'll just keep messing around with it all and see what's what :}

Nice. I really wanna hear it on the AD30.

Progrockabuse · Post by **Progrockabuse** » Fri Jun 13, 2008 11:22 am

it's great for getting that lovley break up sound, especailly if you dig into your strings a little more to drive it a little more if you need.

And that really is a LOVELY setup. By far the classiest guitar in the classiest colour combination.
