Frequently asked questions
Can I use these pedals together?
Yes. The TI-BOOST works well as a lead boost or front-end gain stage, while the Secret Path can layer reverb on top. Stack them based on your signal-flow preference: typically boost before reverb for tonal blending, or reverb into boost for ambience-saturated drive.
Which pedal suits live performance better?
Both are gig-ready. The TI-BOOST excels in rock and metal contexts where dynamic gain control matters; the Secret Path shines in ambient, post-rock, and experimental live sets. Choice depends on your genre and whether you prioritize boost functionality or spatial effects.
What's the key difference in tone philosophy?
The Secret Path emphasizes lush, natural ambience without coloring your core tone; the TI-BOOST actively shapes and pushes your signal through drive and EQ controls. One is a spatial effect, the other is a dynamic tone-shaping tool.
Are either pedals ideal for beginners?
Both require intermediate to advanced skill for full exploitation. The TI-BOOST's simpler control set (Drive, Volume, Low, High, Mid) may feel more intuitive for gain-based players; the Secret Path rewards deeper exploration of reverb character but has a steeper learning curve.
