Hi, been playing my DC-5 (head) for years now and love it. I WOULD like more gain out of it though. I understand that the way the 'gain structure' of Boogie's work, if you keep low's low, mids fairly high, and high's high (and then set your 'output' tone with the graphic) you can get more gain... But I want more lol...
I use fairly high-gain pickups (SD Hotrails in my Strats, custom Rockfields in my OLP), so thinking abt driving some more gain into the input by way of... I would say OD or Dist Pedal, but I have a rack system. I've got a Rocktron Prophesy II that I could add virtually any amt of gain little by little.
I need a little help here though as I've never used an OD or Dist INTO an already 'dirty' channel.
I do hear y'all about the tubes, and might hit ya back for more info on that, but for right now, want to stick with what I already have and looking for any and all advice before I do it.... I'm all ears lol... Suggestions, comments, or completely different ideas totally welcome...

P.S. Bottle Rocket ---- yours sounds much more distorted than mine... What kind of pickups and what are your settings??? Am I hearing right that those are the stock tubes?
