It still isn't going to boost an already overdriven 2203 though, if it's going into the front - you do need a TS, or best of all an SD-1, for that.

ICBM's suggestion is also worth trying.
But all your doing is compressing the driven channel further with drive pedals. Have you tried an EQ. I always found that worked best for a lead boost on already driven amp. Just boost the mids
I used to use a ts9 for a boosted rythmn sound and kick in an mxr eq for leads. Not much more volume, but a lot more noise.
Maybe an SD1 on its own for rythmn and an EQ on its own for leads might work??!!
SD-1 in loop one, gain high, LS-2 volume dialled back for rhythm.
loop 2 volume boosted for solos, I set the amp on a pretty heavy crunch.
works a treat in any band where you are not playing with another guitarist that uses an Orange amp.
Looks like I need to keep my eye out for another jcm800!!!
So you didn't loose anything having the sd1 on loop1 dialled back a little??
It kept the gain high enough whilst letting me boost enough for solos, the main issue being aforementioned Orange user, so my solo boost was insanely ott.
With a less blankety 2nd guitarist I would have maxed out the 800, tamed loop 1 and boosted loop 2.
In the end I ran the 800 clean(ish) and stacked a Blackstar he-dual pedal into it.
3 channels and sounded great, but when I recorded it was just 800 all the way.
