So I just bought a 20th Shiva head so by some time next week I'll have this figured out for myself, but I am really curious how the boost works.
On the XTC I know the boost on blue and red adds gain, but not volume.
On the Shiva I see there is a separate volume control for the boost, but it isn't billed as a solo boost. One video I saw the dude said you can set the volume higher to kick up for leads but it also adds some gain.
Typically I like a transparent volume jump only boost for leads. Just trying to figure out if the boost on the amp and footswitch will set me up for punching up my volume for solo work or if it is needed more as a gain boost to get up in the high gain I'll want. Then I would need an EQ in the loop for solos.
Also wondering how the boost master effects the boost when it is used on the clean channel?
