So....you get a little "tone bump" from the preamp pedal...
Sounds nice.
But is it different from anything else? I mean...is it worth the $150?
I have a couple of "non-boost" pedals, and they have a similar effect when the main FX portion of the pedal is off.
I recently got a Snarling Dogs Very-Tone pedal...which can apply some intersting EQ changes to your signal. It can make an HB guitar sound like a single coil...or vice-versa...and also do a bunch of other EQ things to the signal...
...but I found it can also give you just a nice "tone bump" with all the EQ options off. It's subtle...but, same kind of "fattening" effect.
