Whats amount of Boost are you using?

Yeah, 3 to 5 dB boost is working.

4.5 db boost here, I gotta be loud lol

2-3 db for me

I set my sounds up as lead sounds, and turn the guitar down for rhythm sounds. For solos, I turn the volume knob on my guitar up from approximately 6 to 10.

Does this give enough attenuation/boost? Using mainly rigs 'on the edge of break up', what I can control with my guitar vol is the amount of distortion, but not the loudness.

With rigs that can go from almost crunchy rhythm to a singing lead sound, the volume difference is substantial. I also use some rigs that can range from squeaky clean to bluesy - they get much louder, too.

It varies. Depending on venue and band. I have a "thing"in the loop that allows me to adjust the levels of all lead sounds at once. So if i can hear that the boost is not enough i can adjust it for all sounds with one turn of a knob.

That would be a nice feature request: A Boost offset.
We could have a global value, +/- 10, that certain stomps could choose to 'listen to'.
Ie. a clean boost or a dist pedals gain could be set to offset it's value by this global setting.

Morph could do that.

Actually morph can't. Not in the way i described

In my band we play songs with such a great range of volume. So a fixed amount of boost only is not working.
In addition I use a volume pedal and hope morph can help to cut better thru the band mix.

4 to 4.5. If not going FRFR and using a cab only no micing say a small bar gig up to 6!!!

More and more these days I'm doing what Paults does.
Had a 3 hour gig last night with the Kemper and hit the post stack boost only a few times, preferring to use just the volume control,
I find it depends very much on which guitar I am using and still have a bit of trouble with 2 vol controls (i.e. Gibson). But with my single volume control guitars I think I finally have it!

Here's something to try with an LP:

Put the pickup selector in the middle position. Turn the bridge pickup all the way up.

Turn the neck pickup all the way down. This will mute the guitar.

Then, Turn up the neck pickup slightly, until you are at a rhythm volume ( it will still be almost completely off - less than "1" on the volume knob).

Now, the Middle pickup position is rhythm, and switching to the Bridge position gives you an instant solo tone, complete with volume and gain boost.

If if you want to use the neck pickup for a solo, you can reverse these settings, or just switch to the neck pickup, and turn it up for the solo.

Thanks, that sure could work for some folks.
I still prefer my G&L setup with Vol-Treb-Bass...my brain hurts when I have to deal with 2 volumes especially when I like to use the middle position.
