If you want something transparent, there's tons of options on the market. I used to have the old red version but "transparency" is not what I used it for, but it does a decent job at thickening up single coils and kicking the front end a tad. I eventually found an EQ works even better and has more utility. Generally though, a clean boost in front of a modern amp is pointless unless it has some sort of EQ control, and if you're using it in a loop as a volume boost, you might want to look into something like the CAE/MXR boosts instead, which are actually designed to be transparent and a bit cheaper. Then again an EQ pedals works even better there if you want to dial in some extra mids or cream out the low-end a bit. I say pass on this pedal unless you want to do the faux humbucker thing, outside of that its not particularly remarkable.
