Best way to create a solo boost... go!

[jetdriver1775]

Looking for ideas please.

EQ or Filter block before the amp with EQ and output gain to taste?

GEQ block after the amp.
Filter block, null type after the amp.

There’s a very flexible boost built into the Amp block itself.

A scene controller that turns on the Input Boost in the amp block. Choose a boost type and boost level that makes you smile.

I use a scene controller to vary the level.

I use a Scene A/B with about 4.5 dB on Scene B

I use the boost on the amp, also a pre amp boost and power amp boost...plus drive pedals...so many ways.

 

[jetdriver1775]

Ok. Lots of ways to make it happen. Thanks!

A real solo volume boost should be after the amp (including amp output level and post).

Anything pre-amp, or in the input/preamp section will probably not cut it in terms of volume jump.

Try it. Multiple ways to skin a cat with this beast....... In my AxeII and AX-8 a filter block was my go to but scene controllers work awesome as well.

Depends on what you call "real." And how much gain you're running. E.g., a Plexi running with moderate distortion will get noticeably louder if you give it a front-end boost.

 

[Dave Merrill]

Do you only want to get louder? Or also more or less gain, more cut, and/or wetter/bigger?

You know how to do each of those things I bet, in about a zillion different ways. Try em and see how they feel, in your real mix, at a volume you care about.

I'm using the Amp boost with EQ simple and no extra CPU needed!

 

[TaylorU]

PEQ last block in the chain. Set it to desired boost level and assign a control switch to it. Then dampen the engage time so it acts like a fade in and fade out. Sounds a lot more natural to me like that.

My personal choice is a filter block set to Null with a 3+ dB boost.

 

[ruso]

I just create a duplicate channel, up the levels, and assign it to a scene. Works fine and doesn’t use addition blocks/cpu.

If I’m looking for it to cut through without raising the levels, I’ll use a GEQ to increase the upper mods.

I like this idea. This would work especially well when there is only one guitar.

I have a VolPan block in every preset after the amp/cab for my volume pedal, so I just set up two channels with different output levels or use a modifier on the output level, depending on how the preset is set up. Either way, it goes from -4.5dB to 0dB for solo.

Null Filter for me, 2.5 db.
