Different Approaches To Boost [Underdrive, EQ & Two Amps!]

Dan surprises Mick with three new ways to think about boosting your tone

Welcome to the show! Boost is an absolutely fundamental aspect of electric guitar tone. Whether you want to get louder or quieter; more distorted or less; whether you want to change EQ: you need to understand the concept of boost.
Now the usual approach is to add MORE. But as Dan demonstrates today, there are two other key ways to think about boost: it's unboost, basically. We explore that concept via volume level and EQ before getting to the fun bit: two amps!
Enjoy the show!
