Also what's the amp? If you've not got much clean headroom in the amp then it may not be possible with a boost, and a switchable cut might work better.

I play guitar and take photos of stuff. I also like beans on toast.
I'm a bit unconvinced by clean boosts, they seem like the answer but you suddenly find you want at least some degree of tone shaping. I meant to buy a Fulltone 2b which was designed as a clean boost but to knock off the harsh top end that often results in.
You can also get, not quite sure the generic name, those passive boxes that go in your fx loop so your max volume is from the amp and the pedal will give you a cut.

Its hard to describe the sound in my head, creamy may be the word haha. I'm sure it's a lightly driven sound not a volume boost. I've tried my Peacekeeper but it doesn't get the sound I'm chasing, it might be a case of selling everything and buying a Fender haha.
I sold my Fire Bottle, I think that may have been a mistake.
Also, this is worth trying, Bjorn uses the second channel on the Laney with edge of breakup (without adding grit) and a tonne of volume, add a compressor and you're in Shine On territory, as creamy as you like.
Between the amp, power booster and the RYRA (and your compressor) I honestly think you have it already mate :-)

Edit: I've moved this to FX for time being so it's not being bumped constantly contravening the sales rules.
Does anyone remember when these were really commonplace on boards? I still miss mine, a ge7, but it hissed too much and this was before I knew it could be modded.
But yes, a graphic eq would give you all the boost.
