Ok I have suffered from the same problem for a while and just very recently fixed it for 130 bucks. Simply get the MXR Custom Audio Electronics Boost/ overdrive (Model MC-402) and problem solved.
I don't know if we are all answering a useless question since the original poster hasn't replied but, don't go by the reviews of this pedal. As long as you have a good amp this pedal is fantastic. I use it through my Vox AC30CC2 with great results. Use the boost to drive it harder(the clean boost is amazingly quiet without effecting your original tone) and if you need more gain use the overdrive.
I have also used this with my B-52AT-100 head (which is a $700 100 watt all tube head that IMO beats any Marshall or Mesa) and had great results also. But I also used it with a friend Fender Frontman and the overdrive sounded harsh and bad. So if you have a good tube amp this pedal is a lifesaver and will not take away your bottom end.
Peace and Great tone to all, Rob
