    http://www.barberelectronics.com Check out the Launch Pad.

    internal 24v clean boost. Imagine the harmonics.

    that's a pharaoh amps Class A boost.

    I've demoed his compressor. Matt is a cool guy.

    fortunately, the level side of the keeley comp will do essentially the same thing for me.

    this is a good deal though.

    yeah. the keeley comp will actually give you more clean because of the compression and it's damn loud. The Rat will tear your head off. One day perhaps I will own one too or at least get my Dyna Comp Rossified.

    I wish I could get a paint job on it to look like Diana Ross's face so I could stomp on it everytime I needed compression.

    did you check out the launch pad with the switchable inputs for fender amps?

    yeah, that launch pad looks really cool.

    i'm switching between channels now on my deluxe but the ability to combine them would be gravy.
  • Pacomc79Pacomc79 Posts: 9,404
    how are you switching channels. Vibrato and Clean?

    with my A/B box.

    one output goes to the dry channel and one goes to the vibrato channel. the dry channel is overdriven more.

    ah. that's what I suspected. I was going to suggest that. you want another reverb I guess?

    yes. thus my search for a holy grail.

    choose wisely the wrong choice will bring you death.

    once the keeley goods arrive, my sparkle drive and whatever reverb i find will go in front of the dry channel and i'll be good to go.

    if i hadn't bought the keeley comp, i would have been all over this pharaoh boost.
  • Pacomc79Pacomc79 Posts: 9,404
    I think the keeley will do more for you for what you want it to do. A booster is very nice before a distortion. You should hear what the direct drive and the rat work toegther. very nice edge and at almost not audible. Pharaoh also has that germanium booster for 99 bucks that seems cool. I'm such a sucker for shiny brushed aluminum.

    the Launch Pad is much better esp. for old fenders.

    You mean for old Fender guitars, or old Fender amps? The Duncan model is designed to fatten up the tone of a Strat or Tele to match the output (and the tone) to a Les Paul or other humbucker-guitar. I would agree if you mean old Fender amps (the Duncan model seems aimed squarely at the Marshall crowd, with a slight nod to the Mesa Boogie faction). Still, the Duncan seems like a great model.

    fender Amps.
    I

    like the p/u impedence at around 7k.

    12k and higher and it gets all muddy. I want clean I just want it louder.

    From the site:
    Output impedance: 5K ohms

    A booster pedal takes a signal (usually an electric guitar with weak pickups, like a Strat or Tele or a Danelectro with lipstick pickups) and makes it louder. It can be used to match weak-volume guitars with higher-volume guitars (match a Tele to a Les Paul) or just fatten up the tone. Can be great for leads, click it on and you get just enough louder to be heard clearly. Can also drive a single-channel tube amp a little harder, make it distort easier. I guess they can be used for a lot of things, but all they're really designed to do is make the guitar louder.
