@Larry – I used to do that with my Sparkle Drive when I first got the Tele as I used an LP for about 4 years prior. Now, I am used to the level on the Tele

@Karl – lol @ Hip replacement! that is classic!

Very cool. I’m liking the current trend in smaller pedals. Hopefully the whole industry will move to that by the time I’m 50. I’d hate to be getting hip replacements and having the doctor ask, ‘Did you carry your pedalboard again?’ Props to Exotic.

okay, okay. I like it. I was actually using my Tim today to just ‘boost a clean’ signal with the Tele. I forget how strong humbuckers output is.
Very cool. I’m considering a ZVEX SHO, or a clone for something similiar to what you are running now… for those Tele days.

Larry - haha! sorry, didn't mean to keep you hangin'. I actually haven't experimented much but for now, I put it right after the OD section before the modulation. I do want to keep the gain on my OD to be controlled by my guitar. And I want to slam the amp from the boost. Although I don't want to boost the effected signal, hence, it is before the modulations ... here's an updated pic of the board:

I need details Rhoy!! Where are you putting it? Beginning of the chain to boost all the way through, or at the end to push your amp? AAARRGggghh!

Good score! Nothing like a smooth boost. I take it you are using it with the Tele?
