Never tried? Then i suggest you check that out first.
I have zero problems with my solo boosts, but that might also be because i boost only 2.5dB and i leave the rest up to FOH.
When i play solo, i very much lean on the 'musical foundation' of the rest of the band; a limiter would push that further away, which i wouldn't want.
Set your IEM's to a healthy level with some room for your own temporary boosts.
However, I do use a limiter on the incoming mix (which i blend with my direct guitar signal), but that is setup to protect me from excessive volumes (micdrops
, unmuted plugging/unplugging of cables, all kind of issues that might result in a sudden bump in the mix), it normally won't reduce the level of the incoming signal.
