Booster pedal for €100?

[TelePaul]

Can someone recommend a clean booster for around €100?

A Fulltone OCD (like the used one I bought recently) can give you over 20dB of clean boost, and can give you overdrive as well. They retail new for about $150 USD - I think that's a bit over your limit but still worth considering (especially if you can find a used one.)

There are tons of other gain boosters around, too but I can't claim any experience with 'em.

Fulltone's Full-Drive II ($179) also can be used as a clean boost, & also as an excellent overdrive. I don't know how it compares to the OCD.

Let's see, these are the clean boost pedals that I've seen but not heard:

Electro Harmonix has the Linear Power Booster:

And, like the above posters say, most overdrive pedals can also serve as a clean boost if you turn the drive all the way down and just use the level knob. I guess the same goes for most pedals that have a level knob.

Hopefully that gets ya started in your search.

I've got a Lovekraft Pusher that's a great clean boost. That's all it does, too, so i don't have to waste an actual OD pedal on a boost. Of course, just about any clean boost can be used to overdrive an amp.

FWIW, mine is the actual one shown on the website. Not sure how much they retail for, but I got mine (used) for $70.

Telepaul, here's an example of what Musician's Friend has to offer (keyword search for "boost" - some of the products aren't boost-only pedals...)
