not exactly like that. i dont need to boost anything, and i dont have an effects loop so that pedal wouldnt be much use. i need to get a clean(ish) sound from a one-channel valve amp. the changes from clean(ish) to distortion are be very quick so i dont have time to turn volume pots on my guitar up and down. i want to set the pedal so that when its on, it lowers the volume
