Hi guys!
I'd like to increase the Boneyard gain, I used an 1M pot for the Hi-Gain mode but it seems not to sound as Heavy Metal Gain! :)
Thankfully it doesn't squeal even if I didn't use shielded wire, so I think I can increase it a bit without any noise issue...
Not enough gain ???
Are you sure you have used all the correct values? Honestly you should be getting serious gain if all is right. One thing to consider is the Boneyard's "flavor" of gain is cranked marshall with strong mids. If you wan't a scooped-metal sound this is probably not the pedal, maybe try the chunk-chunk.

What he said.
double-checked all values! The gain is fine, but the crunch-box I built years ago had more gain, and I think the boneyard can reach it too... Well when I think at marshall amps I think at Slash sound... My boneyard has a little less gain but I think it's working fine
I already have a Chunk Chunk... Endless sustain! ;)
(my english sucks... Sorry)
try putting a resistor in series with the hi-gain pot. you'll have to experiment to find a value that works for you, but start at maybe 100k and go up from there.

I can't compare it to a Crunch Box, but a Boneyard with stock specs should have more gain than Slash can wrap a snake around.
