Yeah the early Boogies tend to be a bit fiddley to get the right sound. A pedal would be a necessity for getting distortion without taking people's head off. With that EV, it would do clean country & funk sounds ALL day long though.
So for that sort of sound, with a pedal providing all the gain & distortion, the Boogie would be great.
