It isn't unusual to have to give a real drive pedal at least a little something from the drive knob for it's output to get where you want it. I would expect you could set it at less than 2 to get the needed boost, but IME that would be pretty true to life performance.
As for using a filter block instead as a clean boost, it most certainly can work like what you're wanting it to. I've been doing it for a long time now. The simplest thing to do is just use a high pass filter instead of a null filter to get rid of the unnecessary bass. You could also make a specific EQ curve if you wanted, but I was always able to get the results I wanted with just the high pass.
My motivation for doing that was a little different. I did it so I could get the sound of the boosted amp and still have two drive blocks available in the patch for more interesting stuff.

This patch-name issue was a problem with the previous version of the editor.Snagglefinger said:Additional weirdness: I go to save a patch and once I hit store, gibberish appears. I clean up the name, hit store again, now it steals part of the name of an adjoining preset. Third time was a charm.

"do you have to run "update all presets" if you load the new firmware and upload all the new presets cliff provided?"
I updated the firmware and then loaded all the new presets for version 8.02. I don't have any old presets, I'm just using the latest preset Banks cliff provided. Do I need to hit update all presets? From what I read the answer is no but I'm just checking. I'm afraid I might screw something up if I do and they all sound good right now.

So I cant compare but I am on 8.01 and my only issue is the drastic levels in the drive blocks. Ive read and understand why it is what it is.For me I dont like it as i use alot of drive blocks as clean boosts which dont work right now. My Tube drive is super loud and my super-od is super quiet as well as the FET boost. Is 8.02 the same? Reading i think yes. I ask as I know there was trouble in 8.01 and I do plan on uploading 8.02 after this weekend but in the meantime I have to readjust all my drives and if 8.02 adreeses this i may wait. I think it comes down to I use the drive blocks in an unconventional way
