Synth-Booster Replacement...

Hi everybody

On my small board I'm using the Markbass SuperSynth which really comes to shine when it is driven by heavily compressed and distorted sounds by my BigMuff Pi (black version). Then I'm really able to create those long sustainy synth sounds.

But - there is always a but - I'd like to keep my board quite tiny, as the BigMuff is a bit too big for the Pedaltrain Mini. Is there a similar pedal which would do this trick? I'm not looking for that BigMuff Sound, but it should not be too noisy and create masses of sustain.
Compression allone does not work, been there done that.

I had a wholly mammoth clone and thought it to be aweful. But maybe that was the clone...

It shouldn't be to expensive as I'm not really using it in it's original sense.

The Nano Muff is an overdrive, not really a Big Muff variant so I don't know if it will give you the same kind of sustain etc the Muff does.
There are plenty of Muff clones in small boxes, BYOC and GGG sell kits.

Thx for the advice.

What about SFX? They can boost clean or dirty it up depending on what you want and are tiny tiny tiny. And quality. Very well-made units.

Aaaarrgh, I think I'll have to order from the US... I'll keep you noted, but it will take a few days...

@Tool
Yes, sfx is surely a very nice custom builder. However, I'm lurking for three Mooers, so I'll go into that direction.
