Again, that's why I mentioned used. You can usually pick up a BAT Pharaoh for a great deal. Hell, you can get them on Guitar Center's used website for $100 here and there. I think you're going to struggle to find something good, well made, and versatile at that price point.
I've listened to a lot of BAT vids, they sound great for what they are, but, like treble boosters, are way too over-priced, imo. Am going to keep looking though.
You can pick up a used OC44 Keeley Java all day long for under $100. That's three different Range Master clones in one box. Fuckin' shit's a steal, and man the tones by itself or stacked with amp drive, other boosts, OD's, and fuzz.
My BAT LSTR does work very well for boosting even though it's a Muff based fuzz. It's the Scoop control that does it. I love it with the Scoop between 3/4 - max, and the tone usually around noon to 3/4 with the Fuzz on 0 and the level maxed.
My Analogman HGWD Sun Face sounds awesome into the vintage high gain channel of my Tremoverb with the gain low (like 10:30-11:00) and the volume set loud to loud as fuck.
