I used to use a volume pedal for boosting and it worked OK, but I found it a little tricky to get the exact volume I wanted and I found that I lost some my playing focus when I was fiddling with the pedal! I also used Boss EQ pedal which worked better in that regard. I now use a Baggs Venue DI which has many excellent functions including a boost. The unit has a a preamp with EQ and gain controls, a tuner (a very good one, and also functions as a DI box! For the boost, there is a foot switch to activate it when needed--very easy and helps keep me focused on the playing. There is a gain knob for the boost so you can pre-set how boost you want when you press the foot switch. I highly recommend it!
