BTW Bill, my solution to the clean lead boost problem (which works very nicely) is to put a BBE Boosta Grand pedal after the EQ but before the BBE Sonic Maximiser in my FX loop. I can set the volume control on the BBEBG at the level I want, and I just kick it in whenever I want to raise the volume for the solo. Because it's global in the FX loop, I don't have to change individual patches & its quick & easy to tweak on stage if I need to adjust it a bit.
(If I want a distortion boost, then of course I just kick in tube or fat over-drive set at a higher volume)
