I found a "boutique" booster, the Rangeking, made by TAD (Tube Amp 
Doctor, formerly Ruby Tubes, www.tubeampdoctor.com) in Germany, that 
does exactly what I want. Basically, you set it so that it hits the amp 
quite hard for your distorted sound and you then go back on it using 
the pick up volume control of your guitar to arrive at a clean sound 
with hardly any loss of volume level. The pedal also features a "Balls" 
knob allowing you to conteract the loss of bottom end often associated 
with booster or distortion pedals. The Rangeking has no sound of its 
own. It's 125 Euros, which ain't cheap, but well worth it. It's also 
good for recording, for that added bottom end-enhanced drive.

Cheers,

Recky
