When playing live, options for lead boost?

I use a Robert Keeley DS-1. Set the tone to match your signal tone. Set your level around 10:00 o'clock. Set the distortion at zero or off. I crank my amp levels up high, and then turn the level output on the 2101 between 7:00 and 8:00 o'clock, this is like 1 or 2 level wise. You may need to adjust the level setting on the DS-1 to get your desired level. I am running through two JSX heads, and when I hit the DS-1, it really gives the signal a very excited boost.

I'd say, that's the least appropriate way to do it. The volume pot has 
a huge impact on the guitar tone, that is a way to control gain (to 
the pickups) than output volume. Big time difference.

My suggestion, as others have already mentioned, use a different patch 
with slighly boosted volume/gain (or other tone parameters like EQ, if 
you like) to achieve the effect. Remember the GSP is a multi-fx 
module, there is plenty of patch space in there...

I use a Triaxis feeding the GSP, so my lead tones come from different 
patches within the Triaxis, thus maintaining the GSP fx section 
parameters unaltered and the patch-change time of the Triaxis I 
believe is a bit faster than that of the GSP, though it probably 
depends on the patch you're using on the GSP. 

Gus.
