Overdrive or Boost, whats the difference and when should you use either one?

Some of my favorite "heavy" tones are from the 80's era Judas Priest albums. And of course, Malcom Young used tones just this side of country clean and got a huge tone in the context of AC/DC.

Great demo! I just rearranged my board to try these options. I'd truly never thought of using them together in that way, using the Overdrive clipping, to push the amp clipping, and then the boost to push both for yet another level of distortion. It's so simple, it's genius! Your explanations on the use of each effect, how to use them combined, AND then reverse? I couldn't help but think, all this combined with working the guitars volume for dynamic range , more subtle change and your easily dialing in 6 distinct levels of saturation! This opened my eyes to a whole new way of looking at the interplay between amp, pedal, and a front end push on the gain stages & clipping, throughout the chain. Dude... Bro... You killed it! Bravo, good sir.👏🏼 Bravo.👏🏼

You are making the amp ad harmonics and with a pedal it can add them. If you love your amp’s distortion (hopefully you do) then a straight boost is perfect. If you don’t like your amp’s distortion, or just want a different type of distortion, then use an OD or distortion pedal. There’s no right or wrong, just tonnes of cool options to play with! I have amps that I like the distortion of, so I tend to set them at the edge of breakup and just push them to varying degrees for more or less breakup. I actually use OD pedals for this, sometimes with the gain rolled back and the volume rolled up, so that they act more like a boost. When close to amp breakup, the OD “colors” things less as well. If I wanted to “emulate” many different guitar tones for an event band type show, I would go with a clean amp as a pedal platform, or better, a digital profiler that can sound like many different amps.

Could be a one off problem …and get that…. but found the Twin stomp far better been buying up as many as I can …. TwinStomp have great after service too … in all fairness to vertex they said send a video of how pedal is broken but think I ll return it and buy a spare twin stomp …. Admittedly the buffering is great but I ll get pre and post buffers for my rig ..but you are so right that clean boost is essential to ‘my’ or ‘the’ sound you want

Thanks Rhett. This video was truly inspiring. After watching it I was able to dial in a "better" distortion than I thought was possible on my rig. I have old school setup with a chain of pedals that makes most people laugh. And a slo by wampler with a boost. Boogie F30 built in distortion is my first choice given the chance to play loud. I don't play loud anymore much. So I have been relying on a joyo uzi to get e in the neighborhood at low volumes on my clean channel. But dialing back the gain to about 30%, adding the contour(not digging the second channel without it to be honest), adding the boost cranked to max, than adding a golden horsie, lastly adding a noise gate. Just pure heaven to me. Again, THANKS MAN !!!

Does your amp lack a master volume? If so, you should definitely get a JHS little black box. ($30.) I have a Peavey 6505MH head, and, before I had the little black box, it was impossible to get the tone I wanted without cranking the post gain to ear- splitting volumes. Now, I get the tone I want at the volume I want, every time, without having to add anything to the front end of the amplifier. Boom! This was still an awesome video, however. All of it rings true.

This video has truly opened my eyes to something that I have never before even considered. (or,... for that matter, even realized existed !) I've been working for some time now, on a symphonic metal sound with injection of more bluesy types of guitar tones. This video has given me a whole new angle to look at, using pedals I have never really even considered. Thank you very much for this eye opening video ! It will have a HUGE impact in my future tone !

You can also put an EQ pedal in front of an overdrive to tweak how it reacts to your guitar. If your overdrive sounds a little too muddy, notching out some low mids can make a big difference. But personally, I just don't care for the "edge of breakup" amp tone. My gain settings tend to be very "all or nothing" because I like having access to that buttery smooth super clean tone you get from amps with very high headroom, maybe with a hint of tremolo or vibrato on top.

@@myoriginalname I'm certainly not gonna bad mouth either of those pedals, because they are fantastic. (a friend of mine used to Rock a Jackhammer and *chef's kiss*) But the built in EQ on on the pedals is usually to sculpt the tone after it's been clipped. Whereas cutting some low mids before the OD reduces the amount that those frequencies are clipped in the first place. That's why so many guitarists use tube screamers as their boost pedal, because the screamer pushes the upper mids, ensuring they clip first and more prominently that the rest of the frequency range. (it's also why tube screamers can sound nasal if your tone doesn't actually have any low end problems) But hey, tone is a balancing act. There's no wrong options, just undesirable results.

i agree with rhett in terms of the tone he gets from a boost instead of an overdrive. but for live situations using a boost pedal also adds alot of volume to your amp, which is not desirable if you want a level volume between your clean sound and your overdriven sound. I would take his advice and use a boost instead of an overdrive if I didnt run into this issue but I tend to use my boost ontop of my overdrive for leads only.

Good point. Boost can change the volume drasticly in relation to the clean tone. I’m using a precision drive with a little bit of distortion and volume at unity, into a really moderated distorted amp, just a bit after the breakpoint. Sounds good, and I can get nice clean tones just playing softly.

Great video! I use a Benson Preamp into the Source Audio Zio for my gain stages. Add a Mythos Oracle delay and I’m in tone heaven with my Tele.

Me too! Boost and saturation over boost. Currently using Farm pedals Boost of the Dead and Strymon Deco. Sold my overdrive.

Killer video. to me the overdrive into boost sounded great. In terms of how it feels I'd like the more openness of it

Drybell’s Unit 67 is also a great boost worth checking out! It’s a clean boost, with a 2 band EQ, an optional dedicated range master style boost knob, and a blend knob for a 1176 style compressor. Very versatile!

I've just added one to my board - still working through it and have it currently first in chain. Any advice? Thanks -

@@johnhowlett9829 great! I use it first too as a solo boost mostly! Volume past noon, range at 1 o’clock, lows at 11 o’clock, highs at noon, and the sustain at 9 o’clock just to add subtle compression, High input for single coils, low for humbuckers. But honestly, there is no bad sound in it, in front of a dirty amp, cranking the range master is awesome!

@@pascal006 Pete Thorn sold me on this pedal - he now has one on his board. I'm anywhere from noon - 2 o'clock on the Vboost, range at 12, EQ about the same but Sustain around 1-2 o'clock. I'm using a late 90's 212 Deville, Tele and Strat. Today I'm going to pop it after my OD just to hear the diff. Thanks for the reply too.

I use my Boss SD1 Super overdrive pedal ( on my Blackheart 1 channel amp ) as a Boost with almost no gain & max volume ! Awesome tone !

NOW, I understand...finally! Thank you, Rhett, for this video. I'm much better at building guitars than playing them, but trying hard to change that. You just made sense of what I've really been chasing (but not finding) in my own fledgling tone journey. Thanks from NashVegas

I have totally been on a boost kick. I might have picked up five in the last year. They are all a bit different and all great!
