Solo boost(volume)?

[BOZ]

Hi new here,i have read just about everything i can find on this amp and have ordered one because of the "limited edition".The only thing i cannot get info on is if you can boost the volume for solo's with the boost or just increase the gain.Surely if it has a series effects loop this can be used to boost volume with a clean boost pedal.If the amp is running flat out just lower the output on the clean boost for rhythm and then turn it off for solo's,this should work right? :chug

Welcome to the forum, from I seen and the the few things Chris did with the boost your assumptions are correct on both counts. While I am not 100% certain if it is truly a volume boost it sure sounded like it to me.

Hey thanks for the reply,i hope the wait is not too long!

Sounded on the clip like Chris said it was the same as putting a booster in front of the input 1. I believe Yngwie uses his DOD more for getting his tone than for a level boost, in other words on pretty much all the time. But yes to using a clean boost in the loop.

Since the output stage is saturated and overdriven i think you have to lower the signal very much and lose rather much distortion to get a real difference in volume level out. But Santiago should know this.

No matter Yngwie says, i do preffer TS9 over DOD yjm308, but like Beck-Ola has said IMO Yngwie uses the DOD to colour his tone, i use it in that way too (even with TS9 i can get really close yngwie tone) and i do the the volume boost control in the Fx Loop. With the VM it is a bit more complicated because of the VM itself, but i think in any other tube amp it is straighfoward.

You mean you use the DOD or TS9 in the effects loop to boost volume?
