Not only does the volume knob fail to clean up the gain, it hardly reduces the signal's volume. The hot rail is installed in the bridge of an American strat. Unsurprisingly, it also doesn't play nice with the (wretched) Fender noiseless PUs in the neck and middle.
Decades ago, I had a different hot rail in a Japanese strat, but I can't recall if I was using the guitar volume in those days. One thing I can say though, is the hot rail did not overpower those single coils, especially the neck PU. Switching between neck and hot rail bridge was pretty complimentary.
Basically, my searches are not revealing others who profess a similar experience, and I'm trying to figure out next steps.
