boss pedal....let me guess...GT-6? i have that and I thought about getting a power amp...in theory yes you could just go get a power amp....BUT! you might come out cheaper just buying a head with a good clean channel. i know the peavey transtube supreme is 249.99 I owned this head once before and had a pretty good time with it before i owned the gt-6. i know both of them together would sound pretty good...you wouldnt have to worry about the lack of eqing.....you can program the eq on a gt-6 for the distortion and the clean and then a master eq would be the head.
