Is Dr. Boogey better than Rocktron Rampage(About gain, aggressiveness ...)

[Grocha]

Anyone knows if Dr. Boogey have more gain than Rocktron Rampage??

I haven't played a Rocktron Rampage, but I can't imagine anything having more gain than a Dr. Boogey, especially if you use all J201s (which is too much gain, IMHO). Wire it up correctly and carefully and it'll perform at its best.
It's that Satch/Vai on up to 'every above it' distortion for me.

Look at the "Metal planet" too. It´s has a lot of gain too. 

PS: (i´m not a rocktron endosser...   )

I just listened to the Rampage clips, and they do sound pretty good -- thick, dense, with a lot of aggressive edge. I think they mention about 75 dB gain. Some SPICE simulations on the Dr. Boogey using all J201s show a max gain of +90 dB with the gain and level maxed out. I think the Dr. Boogey sounds better than the Rampage. You can't scoop 30 dB in the midrange -- in fact, you can't get a huge mid-scoop at all using the Marshall-like tonestack -- but I don't think you need it! The noise might be higher, however, using the Dr. Boogey -- esp a DIY build. I would recommend using the ISP Decimator after the Dr. Boogey -- this will clean up all the noise between passages.

Of course the cool thing about the Dr. Boogey is that you can customize the tonestack if you want, use or remove the presence control, and mess with the filter values in the inter-stages. Not to mention swapping out JFETs, changing source resistor and bypass cap values, etc.  You can really tailor the sound to be unique.

those sound clips arent bad at all, but I would put a well built and biased Dr. B up against that any day!
