Here is no brainer switchable gain boost that may be worth experimenting
with. Simply disconnect the midrange lead that goes to ground and connect
it to your switch wired to ground. When it is disconnected, so is your
tone stack. No signal goes to ground. You end up with a very nice boost,
but your tone controls do nothing when the switch is on/off.

This is also a good way to get some mileage of an unused bright switch on
other Fender models.

I sniped that trick out of a West amplifier, it was the “LOUD” switch.

Buy the Book!

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
