I'm just curious to see if anyone uses a permanent volume boost in their rig. I came about using one ever since I found out about John K used one in his rig (not sure if he still does). I started off with the build-your-own kits, but the one I built didn't last long, so now I have a vintage MXR micro amp with I leave on all the time (knob set at noon) position that goes in front of my Sarno preamp.
I find that is adds a lot of richness in places where it is need. It is also very helpful for when you can't rely on any breakup in the amp or speaker section, it creates a nice warm crunch.
