my Carvin has a Diode based lead channel called "SOAK"
its like having a built in DS-1
as that is exactly what it sounds like
my H&K Tubemeister
has a lead channel and a boost
boosted clean is just what you think it is
the lead channel sounds like the clean with a DS1
the lead with the boost sounds like the MT2EHD

This thread inspired me to mess around more with the loop on the VHT and see if I could finagle something into a lead channel entirely in the loop using the HX Effects, rather than hitting the front with a drive. I'm still tweaking but there are a couple of dirt pedal models that are full-range enough to actually use. Right now the loop is gate > parametric EQ cutting a little high end and boosting mids around 600Hz > Alpaca Rouge (Red Llama overdrive model) > delay, and I have the EQ, OD, and delay all on one switch, so it's an on/off lead effect that sounds great through either the dirty or clean channel of the amp. Teemah (Timmy model) also sounded good. This way, I can enjoy the extra definition and nuance of plugging straight into the amp without giving up a sound I use a lot. I'm back to going in raw.Take it to the limit

Seems like mt2 in the loop would work

About the only thing that I would add would be a compressor in front, not the loop. I find that I like the sound of true singles through a compressor just a bit better than straight in.
That Carvin will get the job done. What are you going to be using for a cab? Or will you go direct into the board?
