Personally, I use an EQ with a level boost, a 800Hz cut, and a kick in the low mids to combat the shrillness.

What do you guys use for solo boost? Just curious

Re: What do you guys use for solo boost? Just curious
On one board, I use the "clean" channel of an Analog Man King of Tone. On my home board I use a modded TS-9 (also from Analog Man)
My amps are mostly Mesas so they have "solo" features which I used for a long time, basically giving you two master volume settings - but I discovered that I liked to add some cut and a bit more gain when I do solos, rather than just linearly increasing the volume level._________________

Re: What do you guys use for solo boost? Just curious
Currently I use my Rat Solo or my Vox Satchurator set at a higher volume than my other pedals to cut thru the mix for the solos...would like to get a pure sounding volume boost so I can use all of my pedals for rhythm and lead.Last edited by treyhaislip; 07-09-2015, 08:52 AM.

Ok. Ive looked into using one of those for our church services when a solo comes up in a song but then the sound guy frowns a little since its hard for him to control a spur of the moment change in volume EQs lol.sigpic"Praise HIM with the Strings" Psalms 150:4

Re: What do you guys use for solo boost? Just curious
Well, then. Thats unacceptable. lol. I have that issue most of the time but its just that one of my co-workers is one of the sound guys and he does a great job at it, another guy has guitar so low in the mix you can barely hear it when its NEEDED in a part of a song. LiveStream is a useful tool to go back and listen to how you couldve done a part different as well and you can tell how you sounded in the mix as well... A EQ boost would work while the other guy runs sound i think lol.sigpic"Praise HIM with the Strings" Psalms 150:4

Originally posted by treyhaislip View PostI played at a Church for several years a while ago and several of the sound guys would turn my guitar down after every song so that by the end of the service I was completely muted. lol The main sound guy loved the electric and would have me at a good volume but the other two guys did not like an electric in service so I was phased out lol
A sound guy once asked me "where's your POD?" like was a mandatory staple or something. I told him I left it at the store so we mic'd my amp and buried it in another room. And then, as is to be expected, I had no guitar in the monitors. It got only slightly better with the Aviom system.
In the church I (ocassionally) attend now the musicians and sound guys are all way out of my league, so I am retired after about 10 years of P & W.I am so close to retirement that I could play in a band full time. All I have to do is figure out what to use instead of money, improve my playing, learn some songs, and find some other musicians more talented than me who will do exactly as they're told. .

With the Bugera I can also set the amp on the verge of breakup and then dime the Spark Mini and it's like a channel switch.sigpic"Praise HIM with the Strings" Psalms 150:4
