I just received my level set buffer from fender and I have a question; is the level control any different than a clean boost? I was thinking about buying a booster to go before my distortion do I still need that or can I use the level control on the buffer to boost the sound going into my distortion? (there is a compressor in between the buffer and the distortion) Any information would be helpful. Thank you.

That's more for keeping the signal at unity when changing guitars with different outputs from the pickups. Much like the Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster. There's no compression going or clean boost in the sense you're thinking to give the distortion "more" when you want it. You would need a dedicated clean boost, like the LPB-1 or even the Keeley Katana or Xotic EP-Booster.
