I noticed how the Hoof really opens up with the Tone completely CCW (FUZZ cranked). Would a Rangemaster be good for bringing a crisp high-end for solos? Would I put it before or after OD/FUZZ? Thanks.
You are not finding the hoof bright enough?

Well, typically both should be first lol, but I've found that the hoof doesn't have to be be first pedal in the chain to sound good. I currently have my compressor first with no issues. So, I put the treble boost first, no question.

Try both and see what you prefer, I like fuzzes into a treble booster.

I have the Tone completely CCW, which kills all the highs but really opened up the low-mids and increased sustain. I have the FUZZ dimed, Shift @ between 40-75%. Through my SG, I get a very "Vol. 4"-type Sabbath grind. I want to kick up some boosted bright screaming leads with a good crisp treble booster, while maintaining those beefy low-mids.
Right now, I just have a DEEP rhythm sound with bitchen sustain and a sick creamy decay. I need that treble boost to complete the lead sound. I gotta make sure the sound is consistent with all my Fenders, mainly the Bassman & Twin Reverb. I wanna unleash those two tones live: DEEP & CRISP.
Any good treble boosts for this task?
I just realized I don't have my hoof here in Korea or I would have tried it with the boots -n- buff in treble boost territory and reported back. I kind of also want to try your settings and hear what that sounds like. I love my hoof but I am having a hard time imagining it getting vol. 4 sounds ... I don't doubt you. Alas, my hoof was left back home and i took my Colossus in its stead (more gain, more wooly).
