It's for solos, when you don't have enough gain the solo notes sound kinda wimpy, but with alo of gain they sustain more and sound better. Although I use two pedals for solos, a dist. and a fuzz. and then a volume boost to put it over the top, that is teh way to go. But I do understand the too much gain thign to.
I figured that's what boosters were for? maybe I'm just not hip anymore...

Different strokes. The gain on my TT rarely gets above 9 o clock, because I just crank the volume or kick on the Fuck. But the first thing a buddy of mine does when he comes over is drop the volume down to 8-9 o'clock and maxes the gain on the thing. He'd definitely buy the Dark over the regular version.

THIS! That's exactly what I'm doing right now dude. I put a master volume on it too, so I can crank the tubes but keep the speaker low enough for apartment playing.
That being said, I saw the competition and signed up hahaha. I could care less about Mastodon, but a free tiny terror would be pretty cool...
