MXR Microamp. Can be had pretty cheaply on ebay. Awesome cleans.
I'd go this route as well.

As Mike had mentioned previously (I think), a truly transparent clean boost is not as easy to build as one might believe, but I think the MXR Microamp is one of the flatter/cleaner boosts out there, much more so than a SHO or LPB1. If you volume knob won't suffice and you want a booster to do the job, then get the MXR. The SD SFX-1 ain't bad either, especially if you keep it on setting "0".

Surprisingly enough out of the entire Moollon line (if I may toot the company horn for a sec), the Signal Boost has received some of the best raves for being a truly transparent boost.

Of course, no offense to the Dwarfcraft Devices Plane Ticket, which does an excellent QUIET BOOST.

I have an MXR/Custom Audio Electronics Boost/Line Driver and I can really recommend that for an extremely transparent boost pedal, not sure how different it is to the MXR Micro Amp though - apart from being more expensive.

i use the tele for the cleaner funkier stuff we do, playing jamiroquai on my les paul sounds too thick and not enough snap.

i guess it's more of the volume of the tele being lower than the les paul. so i want the same clean loudness out of as the paul, but with the tele sound.
