Hi!
I have few solos and I want to make them louder; sometimes it's hard to get perfect loudness with volume pedal so is there a pedal that would only have level and nothing else?

There you go EHX.com | LPB-1 - Linear Power Booster Preamp | Electro-Harmonix

Really nice and inexpensive boost.

Wasn't that made for guitar? And if it was, will it cut my lows or somerhing?

It does not cut lows. Not all guitar pedals cut lows--please read the stickied FAQs. Also there is a whole category of pedals called "boost" pedals: clean ones, dirty ones, bright, dark, etc. And most EQ pedals are also perfectly good clean boosts.

This guy from xotic effects is what I use. Great clean-with-character-boost I use at the very end of my chain for about 2 db boost. It makes everything "go to 11" when I need just a little bit more. Now it is not completely clean, but I like the character it adds.

EP Booster

For completely clean/no color at all, the Zvex boost pedal, the Super Hardon, was impressive but it is really pricey. It had absolutely no color and no bass loss at all, just the same exact sound only louder.

A clean boost, or even a Boss GEB-7 set flat with the level control turned up. If it's a solo, you might want to EQ a little more highs or mids anyway. Just a thought.

Exactly... This is what bongomania has just said. And I concur

The beauty of using a graphic EQ is that when boosting, you may wish to tweak the tone a bit (eg usually the lows don't require as much as everything else in a solo situation) the EQ helps by getting it just right
