Overdrive with separate boost

I've got a Fulltone Bass-Drive Mosfet that I like, but I'm curious if there is anything else out there like it? Drive & Boost in one?

There are tons. More than a dozen. What specifically do want different from what you've got?

Lil less wet blanket...

Also, the boost of gain is ok, but I wish I had more control of it.. Maybe gain & volume of the boost?

If you don't mind, will you list the ones that are similar? Thanks...

Not going to list them all, but when you said "less wet blanket" I immediately thought "Rusty Box".

Triple Wreck looks awesome, but I would only need 1/4 of the gain on that guy... I wonder how it does dialed in for a lil lower for OVERDRIVE?

Okko Basstard looks like a hot ticket too...

If he's unsatisfied with the Bass Drive, the Hematoma is very, very similar, so that's probably not much help.

Marcus Miller uses one so it shouldn't be all bad.

Barber makes several 2-channel overdrive pedals (they only briefly made the Deep Fryer, a bass version of their Burn Unit pedal). Of the lot, the 1/2 Gainer has potential as a boost/overdrive combo. It's a 2-channel version of their LTD overdrive, which was pretty popular here for some time.

I have the Fulltone, the boost *has* its own volume knob... As far as the "wet blanket" effect, I can't answer that, I think I know what you mean. If it had a clean volume knob as well I'd probably still be using mine.

It's got a separate boost footswitch, too, so I'd say it's definitely worth at least checking out.
