If you run one like I mentioned before (as a clean boost, drive on 0, volume on 10), it'll make your tone more articulate and powerful. If you listen to any bands like Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, Shadows Fall, In Flames, Between the Buried and Me, Everytime I Die, Unearth, etc.... they ALL use them.
