HYDRA BOOST
ECHO DRIVE
HYDRA BOOST
Place the HYDRA BOOST last in you're pedal set-up, to boost up you're solo without boost the
pedals in front of it.
Beef up you're amp with the HYDRA BOOST, set the amp gain as high as possible just before
it begin to overdrive, then boost you're input on your amp with the HYDRA to get more sustain
and bite, and control the overall level on the master volume.
Boost you're overdrive pedals with extreme input for extraordinary overdrive, place the HYDRA
BOOST first before the overdrive pedal, use and set the overdrive to you're normal rhythm
tone, then boost the input on the overdrive. It will not necessarily give higher volume, but it will
give much more sustain and drive, all depending on the setting on the HYDRA.
