Digitech Bad Monkey. Fantastic pedal for not a lot of money.

Keeley modded TS9DX Flexi 4x12. Expensive but a very good overdrive pedal

Does a DOD 250 count as a boost?  I had one of those, but sold it to gwEm without ever having used it.
your favourite boost is one you've never tried?(!)

I just bought a Way Huge Green Rhino Mk II, I like it more than the bad monkey I had. The output is insane!

For a clean boost I use a Danelectro Transparent OD Mk2 with the gain off and the 12db switch on.  No need to worry about the cr@ppy pots because only the volume control is used.

Otherwise its my Lovepedal Eternity Fuse (which works even better twinned with the Dano pedal)

For Marshall style amps, the Maxon OD9 does it for me.

20 years ago, I used a mates' TC Electronic BoosterDistortion (or something like that) into my 2210.
It turned a harsh and lifeless amp into a firebreathing thrashing monster.  Should have bought that one off him...

Clinch FX E.P. Pre & a H.B.E. Germania.

Can be a little noisy together but sound awesome. Anyone else a fan of trebleboosters?

I must admit that Hoochee Mama Drive is a really nice bit of kit!

I've managed to find a very small selection of pedals I like for certain things - depending on the guitar.

The one thing that always works is my modded Boss GE-7 though, so thats my 'all time'.
