Lizard Legs Dragon Boost vs. Creation Audio MK 4.23 - Which???

[spyeman]

I'm looking for a completely clean boost. Both of these are highly regarded, anyone tried both, or have comments on either one?

Haven't tried Dragon's Leg, but the Mk 4.23's by far and a long shot, the cleanest booster I've yet used. Makes something like the *really clean* Xotic RC Boost sound like a Big Muff with bad trannies!

The Lizard Leg Flying Dragon is the most transparent and natural boost that I have tried (KOT, RC Booster and Tim). I have not tried the MK 4.23.

As far as single knob clean boost pedals, these 2 are way up the list.

Both will do the job great.

The Flying Dragon is simply your tone but more. Very transparent as I don't hear much if any tone change. Works great after the guitar giving your signal a nice boost to push and amp or feed a long signal chain. Also worked decently as a solo boost at the end of the chain.

The Mk.4.23 is very clean and clear. So much that there is a slight presence increase. Has tons of headroom and boost in here. Sounds like this one can get "louder" than the Flying Dragon but that's a personal preference of need. Again very clear in the front. My favorite is running at the end of my pedal chain as a solo boost. The added presence gives a little shimmer and cut that works for solos or degraded long signal chains.

Both are great boosts.

Lizard Leg - had the tourbox. simply the most transparent boost I tried.

Thanks for the inputs, sounds like either one is a great pedal. I have changed gigging amps, my older amp had two masters which was great for volume/solo boosts, new amp does not, so looking to recreate that "second master" scenario. No need/want for any tonal change at all. Looks like a coin toss here, plus they both cost the same!
