Agree... It also adds zero noise.  I only notice a jump in noise floor on the maxed out gain of the Lead of VHT Ultralead Pitbull.
dude...you have a pedalboard with regulated power supply? ....just wondering if you have any...I am in the market for one...I am looking at the Furman SPB-8....since most of the pro musicians rely on Furman conditioners...and this pedalboard and has a built-in one, I figured it's a nice one to have.

Boss Phil,

Wala.  I only use one effect at a time.  But since nandiyan ka sa Tate, check out pedal pad kasi at least integrated and power supply nila sa pedal board.  Mga FURMAN kasi parang china na eh...

anyway, whats the difference with the RC from the AC and the BB Preamp? :D  I'm kinda interested....but not sure which.. as I understand from the HC reviews, they all feature a boost of signal, right? so what does the gain do in all pedals? is there any gauge with this knob in those 3 different pedal?

AC is an overdrive pedal...the RC is a boost with EQ and gain (doesn't really break up that gives you an overdriven tone...but it's awesome to use as a gain boost in the dirty channel)....BB preamp...dunno.

i think this is what makes it confusing in comparison to the RC booster.  the AC booster is easy to distinguish because it's an OD pedal.  if someone gets the chance to A/B the RC booster and the BB preamp, do post your findings!

i see.. but all those pedals still feature boosting capability right? so does that mean the only difference with the 3 pedals are the gain range?
