Bass boost/volume stompbox? Help!

I've been playing for years, but never really bothered with much in the way of effects, so as a result I know sod all about them.

What I need is a pedal that will give me a bit more volume when I stamp on it, then back to normal when I stamp on it again - I don't want one of those car-accelerator type pedals were I gotta fart around trying to get it exactly where it was before. What do I need to get? Any advice gratefully received

Cheers

Rob :)

Markbass Super Booster - you get a clean boost AND the legendary VPF and VLE filters. Yum.
It also has a DI out for extra flexibility.

I have one of these and a big +1 to what Discreet said.

Marbass superbooster does it. However I get a slightly glassy edge to my tone when just using the boost. It's not very prominent and helps lift you up in the bandmix, doesn't bother me much but it could be a thing.
Also they are discontinued, so secondhand or old shop supply is your only bet to get one.
Lastly, they run on 12v instead of the generic 9v.
I can rate it as a simple clean boost, and separate easy Tone control (has a second footswitch for this)

Graphic eq - keep all sliders for frequencies flat, just boost the volume. Or you can add some mids for added girth as well as volume as well.

Re Markbass - they`re doing a graphic/booster, and a graphic/distortion pedal as well as the Super Booster.
