This doesn't sound like an FX forum problem. If you'd come here saying "My bass doesn't sound enough like a jet engine at take-off" you might get more responses. |

They can also had more high-end content that make the glassy harmonics shimmer and sparkle. I call them a nice control, as you turn the knobs up and it magically adds 'nice' to your sound. But, the flip side is to be gentle with them, as it's easy to overcook the effect to the detriment of your mids.
You really need to try one out to fully hear what they do to your sound. Behringer actually make their own (ultramizer?) that's actually quite good.

Sorry The demo linked doesn't sound that great but poke around and you may find some interesting things on these two. |

|  | Registered User | | | | | how about a boost of some kind. a devi ever darko boost or a nice analog octave pedal may suit your needs. |

Regardless, if it does the job, it does the job. Doesn't matter how or why it works.

Before you go nuts with a rack solution (which will NOT be a solution, IMO), I honestly think you should consider replacing the cab with something more substantial.
No amount of effects or rack enhancers will make up for a cab that can't keep up at high volumes during a gig.
