www.ToneFactor.com - Put simply, the 'Dragon is a single stage, broad frequency boost that doesn't alter your sound or your tone. 100% transparent but still has the Magic Mojo to add that extra "oomph" to your sound. The 'Dragon doesn't boost your highs, notch your mids, or turn your lows into a muddy mess. What you put in is what you get out - just More. Period.
The 'Dragon is so transparent and clean that it works equally well with acoustic/electrics, mandolins, dobros, and lap steels - even keyboards. If it has strings, the 'Dragon works with it.
The 'Dragon interacts with your amp dynamically - think of it as an external gain stage. If your amp is set clean, with a lot of headroom left, then you can expect a straight up volume boost from the 'Dragon that doesn't color or alter your tone. If your amp is set on the edge of breakup with a little grit already on the sound, then the 'Dragon will push you over the edge into a sweet, natural overdrive that comes from the amp itself.
Gear Used:
Fender Stratocaster H/S/S
Dr. Z MAZ 18
That's what it does. When you up the boost you will get the pre-amp tubes cooking and that's where the drive comes from.

Got this pedal a few weeks back it does what your after in spades, it all depends where you put it in the chain as with all pedals. If your amp is set clean it will act as a great volume boost and adds nothing to your tone. If your amp is just at or just before the break up point it is one of the best Over Drives around. In the FX loop its a volume boost no mater what your amp is set at.

Wonderful tone, but I want to boost "solo volume" on a single chanel amp without adding more drive.
The "JXL Volume Boost" seems to do just that.
