Hi,

that's exactly what my booster does! I bought it because it has an 
aptly named "Balls" knob which adds (or subtracts) body to your sound, 
depending on what amp you play. It doesn't colour the sound much at 
all. Because it sounds so much better, somehow more focused and bigger 
than the Pro Junior should really sound like, with the pedal, I keep it 
engaged all the time. That's why I need an overdrive option on top of 
that, which will give me additional distortion without increasing the 
overall volume even more.

Thanks for the Maxon tip!

Cheers,

Recky
