    I've owned them both concurrently.

    I bought them having been pleased with the TI Boost and while both were decent, very capable pedals, they didn't wow me and I quickly moved them on.

    If they are available at decent prices (where, by the way?) they are definitely worth a shot, but depreciation on them is pretty harsh and they aren't in huge demand used.

    One other thing to point out, the casings of both are larger than the TI Boost for some unfathomable reason.  They don't need to be in my opinion, but if you are looking to place them on an anally neat pedalboard alongside a TI you may be a little irked like I was to discover they are a different size...

    PS, I've followed your ongoing quest for the ultimate low gain drive with interest over the years as I've been on a similar path - neither of these tick that box very well.

    £30 off at GAK. Can’t see any better deals than that? 
    I’ll handle this Violet, you take your three hour break.

    I was more interested in the Monolith, I cured my need for the ultimate low gain drive by buying a Paul Cochran Timmy, it’s absolutely superb.
    I read on the Gearpage commenting about the Monolith that even though it’s a distortion pedal it sounds great at lower gain for thick fat lead tone.
