Few last questions: I guess I meant was do I need the expression switch for the "volume pedal" model. I ideally just need a volume increase, so that's what I'd use if an expression is not needed.
On an rp500 I tried today, you can't really have a clean boost that increases the amp's volume since the highest the "heel down" setting gets is the level you'd have if the pedal was bypassed. Does any sort of clean boost actually boost the amp's volume if you have the M9 in the amp's fx loop?
