I feel like I don’t use this feature properly. Please share your ideas for using the Z-Lux Boost (EQ Bypass). Thank you.

Don't know if my vote counts as I don't have a Z-Lux, but my Antidote has the bypass and I dial it in for an ever slight boost primarily for stepping out to solo. Where I have the amp set it kicks a bit of hair and since the guitar volume is backed off already, I can vary the amount of break up with guitar volume.

I chose "Other" because I use it different ways. With a single-coil guitar I generally have it "always on" with the boost pot set below half and the tone knobs pretty low. With humbuckers it's more often used as a solo boost.

In short, "Other." It depends on the room, the guitar, and even the song, sometimes!

I primarily use it for solo's. However, there are times when I use it for a tone thing, when I am on the neck pup of my tele. In that situation, I have the volume rolled off a bit on my guitar.

I feel like those EQ knobs are there for a reason, and I like the sound of the Lux less when that circuit's bypassed. I'm a dirt-pedal (almost) always on guy (I love the way the Lux interacts with a good dirt pedal), and I use a clean boost after my dirt pedal(s) for solos. My EQ-bypass pedals are around here somewhere, but I don't take them along on gigs.

I also usually use pedals for overdrive tone (except with the Nova). I never use it except at home, and try as I might I just can't get the same level of control and tone variety that I can with a great od pedal. Different strokes...

Always on. It’s never my intent, but then I start playing the first song of the set and realize I need a little more gas than I’d planned on so I hit it and forget to 1) take it off and 2) adjust my master to compensate and before you know it, 3 sets are over.

I used the boost last night and thought it was great. I had the boost set a little past 1/2 volume.

"Other" for me. It depends on the guitar and room. I've never found it necessary with humbucker guitars, but with teles and strats, and can be a nice way to add some girth.
