How to get a boost switch and use it with the MFC-101?

I'd like to have a switch on my MFC-101 that can be used as a boost for lead parts. How do I put a boost into my patch and then how do I assign that boost to the MFC-101? Thanks for all your help. Cheers

How to load a downloaded preset?

I've downloaded a preset using my MacBook Pro. I show the preset in Finder then copy it. Then I open Axe Manage and try to paste it in a folder I've named various but the paste is greyed out so I don't have that option. Next I tried to drag and drop but that didn't work. Any suggestions?

Noisy Axe Fx II is this normal?

I'm coming xlr out of my Axe and into an Apogee Ensemble for the purpose of recording. There is quite a bit of spacey hiss coming from the Axe when I monitor the 2 tracks I've put the L & R Axe outputs on. Is this pretty normal? I am running a higher gain patch.
