from my experience the zak wild boost injects more noise than I ever got from my friedman . I actually returned my ZW boost because it was to noisey . Maybe I had a bad boost?

Naw, mine is a bit noisey at 3/4 open as well, i use a gate to take care of that, i had Dave put in a NOS Mullard i sent with the amp, but i hadn't used that one before, it was a bit noisey, which has since been replaced, it's quiet now, plus i have some low noise Amperex coming from my tube connection, they are special low noise 7025's with spiral wound heaters, should be here tommorow.
The gain cut works great, on the BE channel i can flip the gain cut on & roll back the Pre-amp volume, the amp cleans up nicely, sounds just like my original JMP Low input, or i can use the gain cut and vary the Pre-amp volume on the HBE as well.
Plus i can get any combo of gain inbetween on each channel, very flexable.
