To Master or Not to Master?

Getting ready to start stichting together a video review for the EHX Nano POG and recorded some audio (duh) so I was debating whether to master the recorded audio (guitar and drums) or to leave it as is? My thoughts on leaving it is that it will give the viewer a better idea what the pedal sounds like, but with mastering, it will just sound better.
Thoughts?

Do a simple transparent master, nothing over the top. It will keep it honest, but still sounding as good as it can.

Aim for a honest representation of what's in the room. A little mastering will help a ton.

I'm sure it would help. Nothing fancy, just pulling up the levels a bit and avoiding the unmastered, weak sound. Conversely, certainly don't brickwall the thing.
