By raising the volume/gain level on the compressor it can also be used as a booster - by putting it before the overdrive it of course changes the level going in, and so the volume boost also gives the overdrive more, well, overdrive!

Also, FWIW...I sold my JDX Drive and replaced it with a Vox MV Clean head. FANTASTIC. Fits on my board. Is an ACTUAL amp head, not a simulator. Built in attenuator, line out to board and line to cab simultaneously if desired.
I'm running it at the end of my board, right where my JDX was, and straight out to the Allen and Heath. UNBELIEVABLY good tones. FAR better than I ever got with the JDX Direct Drive.
And, I almost recouped enough from the Direct Drive to fund the VOX.
IMO, this is the way to go if running out to a PA. Portable, consistent. EASY.
