So how are you getting your solo volume boost on a single channel amp?

[GJgo]

The amps I'm using are a Mark IIB KRG and a Mark IIC+ KRG. So far the only way I've been able to get a sufficient lead volume bump is with the IIC+ to set the GEQ to Auto, run the rhythm channel as rhythm with no GEQ, then run the lead channel for leads with the GEQ on and bump the mids way up. That works like a charm, but since the IIB GEQ is only on/off I needed another solution. Also hoping to find a good Marshall & would need the same trick there.

Working on a new 2 guitar project doing 80s hard rock & hair metal covers, so need good amounts of gain on tap and a lead volume boost to step out with.

I have an original IIC+ as well. I found a boost in the loop works well. There is headroom there. I only use the rhythm channel for clean tones, and the lead is well, dirty.as.fuck

I usually leave the EQ always on, I just like the clean tone with the same EQ as the lead.
Great amp!

Hell yeah man! Glad you found a solution that worked!

Great amp!

I'm going to try it tonight with a boost in the loop just for comparison.

Mine is switchable C+ / C++ and the rhythm channel on C++ mode is phenomenal for rock gain. ...and with the right speakers, also killer with the GEQ off. For live work, I don't seem to have the same issues that other guys complain about with these amps. Plenty of versatility between the two channels.
