Best Boost Pedal For Tweed Amps...?? (Rangemaster, Klon, Hudson Broadcast & More!!)

Welcome to Perky's Analog Gear Demos. Please subscribe for more demos of vintage & rare effects pedals!

Very often, I see the topic of Tweed amps come up on forums...just how can/do you boost them without the low end flubbing out? Is there any way to stop that from happening? If the amp is already distorting, how can you make it louder? What's the best pedal to use?

Today, I wanted to look into this and show you five of my favourite pedals for boosting my Cornell Romany Plus...essentially a Fender Tweed Champ circuit with a 12 inch speaker. I'll be running it in half power mode and with the EQ defeated - so it's as close as possible to an old Champ - and also turn it up to the point where it's really starting to work.

Most of the pedals are centred around increasing perceived 'loudness' by boosting the aggressive upper mids and shelving off low end to stop the amp flubbing out. But sometimes, a full-frequency boost to accentuate the sag can be fun too for some Neil Young vibes :-)

What do you think? Which was your favourite? Would you choose something else? Comment below!
