A 'boost' pedal like a SD-1 or and EQ is a better solo volume booster at a gig IMO.

Yup, good catch. I have the Little Alligator which has the minimum volume set, but didn't think about that when I posted. Also, I starting using an EQ pedal instead so I could shape the solo tone. I was kinda stuck on the volume pedal in my post since that's what the OP asked about, but I think the EQ is better for a few reasons.
