I have a schecter elite 5 converted to passive, which has enhanced the sound so much...but I need a pedal just to get a bit more "growl"...without losing any bottom or mid range.....what do you recommend?

If so I may just be sad I sold mine. It played beautifully, but I could never dial the EQ right. |

Can you be a bit more specific about the tone you're looking to obtain?

I had my Fulltone BD in line last night but actually got more low-mid growl / presence by boosting ~250 hz by 3 dB via the rackmount pre.

A sansamp paradriver might work.

Most of the time it works. Of course you need to tweak this basic recipe to make it work with the gear you have in your hands. |
