What's a good cheap pre amp boost switch?

[Mendozer]

I have a 2014 les paul classic with a boost switch and I love it. I want to add it into my sg but I'm have no idea what I'm doing. My sg has a dimarzio crunch lab and a duncan '59nl which has a single conductor. The dimarzio is a 4 conductor. Any help is appreciated.

Any idea how I would wire it with 2 humbuckers 1 volume and a 3 way toggle?

Also look at the Bartolini Chip... It comes in a few different gain setups...

Just wire it in line with the output jack

I added a boost circuit to one of my guitars a while back. While it had a nice sound, it was inconvenient to use. A stomp box was way better...I took out the boost after only a couple weeks.

Plus with a pedal it can be extremely diverse and adjustable, and it only takes one instead of one for each.

Exactly.

And I've got so many guitars it didn't make any sense at all to put a boost in each one when I could just have one pedal for all.
