I tried this PEQ block and even raising the gain only 1db instead of Leon's recommended 2db boost, it was VERY "loud" in comparison.
Did you test it with your band at a rehearsal or at home?

Live at show with band. At home, it sounded VERY loud at 2db, so I cut to 1db. Sound guy had to actually bring me down during leads. That said, it could have also been the venue. VERY small and acoustics weren’t great so maybe cutting through with a better EQ curve worked “too” well.
The best way are filter block to up the volume to stage solo?filter block near the end of your chain
Type = Null
Level = 4 to 6 dB
turn it on for a boost. consider reducing some low end in the block so it doesn't get boosted (clarity).
a Filter block with the Type set to Null will not change tone at all. show us your preset and Filter settings or upload the preset.After trying the Filter as the main approach as described, for a hard rock tone it changes my tone for worse way too much even the boosted level on the lower end like 1.5 ish. I ended up opting for a different amp in the Y of the X/Y option so I can get zero change in tone except for more gain and better overall lead tone.
I still need to experiment with reducing the bass and boosting the mids a bit for better cut

Bass is low, not high. Use Low-Cut. Cut it and listen to the result.@chris I'm at work,..........will load it later.
When you say 'reduce the bass' to be more specific is that done with the 'hi cut filter' in the Filter block or how exactly are you reducing the bass because there is no bass feature in the block.
My solo boost is a Filter block, not with NULL, but with PEAKING. Gain is +6db for a fat Mids boost centered on 770Hz with Q about 0.3.
Use this when you want to DOMINATE the mix.
@cragginshred 'Hi-Cut' would.......... cut the 'Highs'...
Try the 'Low-Cut'. Around 125 Hz or higher, to taste.
And make sure that the 'Filter' block is after the Amp block, or you will be just mostly increasing the 'Dirt', not the volume.
I think he means just somewhere after the amp, as putting it before would be an amp gain boost, and not a post-amp boost. It can go at the end of the chain. Before the cab shouldn’t make much if any difference. But experiment and see what you like.Hi Moke.
So the Filter block after the amp and before the cab, not at the end of the chain like most people?
I typically put one after the Amp and Cab blocks, but before any Delays/Reverb to leave any effect tails unaltered between scene changes.Hi Moke.
