If your guitar struggles to punch through the mix, a booster pedal can help solve the issue. The same goes for adding a buffer pedal to your FX loop.
Enhancing Cleans & Boosting Guitar Solos
Feel like you could use a little more volume during lead sections or solos? A basic booster pedal is usually all you need, unless you want to boost a specific frequency range at the same time. In that case, you'll want to go for a more extensive booster equipped with comprehensive tone controls. Want to be assured of ample volume at all times? Simply toggle your boost pedal before you start playing and leave it engaged the entire time. If you're rocking a clean sound that you want to leave completely uncoloured, then it's best to grab a clean boost pedal, but if you don't mind a little overdrive, then a treble booster is definitely a better solution. Also, don't forget to check out our Fuzz and Overdrive & Distortion pedals loaded with a built-in boost section while you're at it.
Give Your Guitar Sound a Quality Boost With a Buffer Pedal
If you've planted a lot of true bypass pedals on your pedalboard, it can be wise to place a buffer pedal in the right spot in your effects loop. Even though true bypass stompboxes don't colour the sound when they're switched off, if placed correctly, a buffer pedal will still instantly improve the sound of your guitar. That's because adding too many true bypass effects to your setup will eventually cause some signal loss. You'll have to experiment with your buffer pedal to find out where exactly in your chain of effects it works best. If you're already running one or two buffered bypass effect pedals, then you can set these stompboxes up to serve as a buffer pedal as well.
