I use them both, and simultaneously, just because I can.

It depends on the situation.

I use either a booster or compressor. Or, with a really great amp, the volume knob on the guitar.

Sometimes I want a swell. Sometimes I want a bludgeon.

I have a Mesa, there's a "solo" button for that.

Boost.

I have used a volume, but I prefer to preset a level and move on. I don’t finesse it during a solo.

i had a morley volume pedal where you could set the minimum volume and it was great

Even though I'm strictly a home-studio player, I love that feature also on my Boss FV-500H. But, I also use the Duncan SFX-01 first, because passive volume pedals can load down your guitar, subtly altering it's high-end character.

I just step on a distortion pedal for solos. I have my Marshall set for a crunchy tone. Not too dirty.

I have a clean boost pedal, and it works properly, and a Morley little alligator with the useful knob to set the minimum volume. Not sure, in truth, which I prefer the most. While the boost is straight after the distortions, the volume pedal is at the end of the chain, right before the delay. I have already tried the GT OD as a boost of an already dirty amp but it's not enough

I built volume choke in fx loop for the job:


Poor picture, but it's the green box in corner.

It has two volume pots. Left footswitch bypasses both and right switches between them.

i get clean tones with volume pedal and use bypass to balance the volume with OD. Right footswitch also switches fx loop in front of amp on/off, and that i use for solo boost.
