Do you guys know about the $25 Amazon TS style boost?

This one:

This pedal has no business sounding as good as it does. It's like a TS but with a bit higher mids. Sits somewhere in between the TS and SD1. True bypass even.

If you have some unused Amazon credit or gift card get one. Or even buy it outright. Definitely worth it.

JHs did a demo vid of all these a while back, he thinks they are great and a cheap way for people to get into pedals

I think these are basically the same as the Kokko branded pedals you see in other places. I had one of the TS from Kokko back in 2019/2020. It was a good sounding TS for certain. It did not like my brighter amps though at all. It sounded best with my darker sounding laney.

Some of my favorite boosts are Amazon cheapies. Maybe not the Amazon Basics brand :mrgreen: but certainly some $30 specials \m/

never tried a real TS, but i really like my $50 GFS Greenie ... has 3 different modes

"Classic" is the old-school Tube Screamer thing...lots of thick searing mids, BIG bottom end and a smooth crunchy high end."
"Fat" is a thicker, fuller, warmer version of this tone....great for smaller amps- a GODSEND with a modelling or solid state amp."
"Tight" is a leaner, more modern Tube Screamer sound- this is especially good with richer sounding amps. "

Yeah exact same pedal. I think Amazon rebranded them as Kokko because when I searched for it today the Kokko is the only one that showed up. It seems that the Amazon brand has been discontinued.

I have bought 10 or so cheap pedals off Amazon and so far they've all been pretty good. Some have been really good and have seen lots of live use.

I wish this stuff had been available when I was a kid. Adjusted for inflation, these pedals would have cost me about five bucks each in 1975, which would have worked well with my $2/hour job bagging groceries.
