Mark Hammer	Re: Clean Boosters/semi-rant Thanks for the clarification (no pun intended). You might also want to consider simply using an EQ stompbox for the task, since many can adjust overall level. Not only that, but sometimes the threshold of clipping is approached too easily in some bands (or not easily enough in others), and the band-adjustability of an EQ can deliver the crunch you want, the way you want it. I used to use a 6-band MXR in exactly that manner for a number of years.
