Use cases and applications
-
Boost placement in the signal chain affects its impact; placing before dirt pedals increases gain, while placing after enhances volume without altering gain.
Source -
Boosts in the FX loop primarily increase volume, with minimal tonal change, unlike when placed before an amp's preamp, which can push tubes into overdrive.
