I need a simple Bass Boost pedal

Can anyone recomend a good bass boost pedal. My band are working on a couple of songs where certain parts need to be louder than the rest of the song, but not distorted, so i thought a simple bass boost pedal may do the job but i am not sure what is out there.

because you live in the uk im gonna sugest this but theres a guy who makes pedals called mike and he has his own range of pedals called madebymike www.madebymike.co.uk and he has a really cool boost pedal called the saltbooster and it works for guitar and bass

its also cheep at £30
 
This thread made me want to try my "fat boost" again. I took my Mr Smooth, and converted it to just a simple fat boost. I have attached a sample scope screenshot. The smaller signal is the input, a 440Hz tone. You can see how the fat boost rounds the signal.
