I use a Creation Audio Mk.4.23. 24dB of very clean, transparent boost. Lovely pedal.

A lot of people tend to like the Catalinbread Serrano Picoso and Super Chile Picoso. I have found that my DHA VT1 can do a fantastic clean boost with the gain most the way down and level cranked. Also, there's the EHX LPB-1, although I'm not sure if its totally clean or not

The MXR Micro Amp is a very cost effective solution that works very well on bass. There is no change in tone, no boost or loss of low end, and its very very clean. I really liked mine but found I just didn't use a boost. Otherwise I would have held onto it.

I like the Bass RC Booster, but the truth is that there isn't much difference between most clean boosts out there. There are miniscule differences in purity, some have more dB than others, but other than that, the differences diminish in contrast to the similarities.

Basically, don't go for the cheapest one there is, but if you're after a one-knobber, almost anything will serve you well.

My favorite and what I am currently using, is the Blue Tail clean boost pedal made by Lizard Leg Effects. The web site is http://www.lizardlegeffects.com/pedals/bluetail.html.

+1

In the reasonably priced realm, I like my BBE Boosta Grande

The Creation Audio Labs MK.4.23 is technically the best clean boost pedal out there. Perfect reproduction of every frequency. No tone change at all, just louder. That being said, there are tons of boost pedals that would work perfectly fine.

depends what you want. I find that flat boosts usually provide too much high end. the Bass RC Booster has (for me) ideal rolloff frequencies that make its 2-band EQ exceptionally useful

I guess many people don't know, but the Boss LS-2 can do a clean 20dB boost (as well as a crapload of other uses)
