Frequently asked questions
Can I use these together?
Yes. The TI-BOOST works as a boost pedal to push the Monolith's distortion or to enhance your amp's natural tone, while the Monolith provides the core distortion character. Many players stack a boost in front of or after a distortion pedal.
Which one is better for metal?
Both excel in metal, but they serve different roles. The Monolith is a complete distortion solution with three voicings and tight compression for standalone metal tones. The TI-BOOST is a boost pedal that enhances and pushes existing tones, designed to complement your amp or distortion pedal.
What's the main difference in switching noise and bypass?
The Monolith uses dead-silent switching with buffered bypass, while the TI-BOOST uses true-bypass design. True-bypass removes the pedal completely from the signal chain when off; buffered bypass keeps a buffer active. Both are suitable for gigging.
Which pedal is more compact?
The TI-BOOST is slightly smaller at 56×66×112mm versus the Monolith's 59×74×121mm, though both are compact. The Monolith weighs less at 0.38kg compared to the TI-BOOST at 0.55kg.
