I think this has been discussed earlier, but I couldn't find the thread. Sorry if I'm double posting.
Anyway, how have you resolved getting additional solo in live situations? I know a simple solution is to make a copy of a preset, add gain and volume to the second preset and then simply switch between presets. Then, if you want to achieve the same with a stomp box, the obvious way is to place a boost before the amp block. This however does not always allow adding much output volume.
I ended up adding lead boost before amp/cab block and pure poost after it, in x slot. My foot controller can switch both blocks on/off at the same time, so this works fine.
