Southampton Boost!!

Well, I liked the pedal so much I decided to get two of them (sort of)!
You ordered Hamish's custom double fifth gear didn't you?
Its 2 fifth gears in one box. He build it to even out single coils and humbuckers on different guitars......
Yup. 2 Fifth Gears, each on their own switch, one box. I'm pretty pumped, and it'll do exactly what I need it for - one boost to help with levelling out between my active and passive bass, and the other can be set to punch up my volume a bit when needed in a song or two. I may even live on the edge and try them both on at once!
Oh that sounds very cool. Hamish is killin it! I've got an imposter on the way. Pretty stoked 
thread and soundclip soon to come.

He's hinted there is something new coming...im gonna call to see what's up

Yeah, it was tough to pass on the Imposter, but in the end I just didn't have a place or need for it, even though it sounded like such a cool pedal. Who knows though, maybe I'll pick one up off someone's flip down the line!
So I decided to pick up this pedal. (How could I resist at $73 US.) Are most people still preferring it at the beginning of the chain?
I do because I prefer to have a fully clean boost at the end. But, it could work either way.
I still use mine at the beginning. It sounded so good I never got around to trying at the end. I will have to try that here pretty soon.
Yeah, the FG at the beginning is a Growl Machine. The Imposter at the Beginning is a Synth Machine. That is what those pedals should be called
I also have mine after my SubT and Xereo, but I did try it before them and it really gave some girth to the synth type sound I use them for. It really does sound good going into every dirt pedal I use.
