You're about to bust out a solo, what pedal(s) you stepping on?

Lestratcaster

Just curious to know what people would use to boost the signal, particularly to bring out more sustain and that sizzle from the saturation of a nice tube amp.

The particular scenario I have is a single coiled strat going into a Marshall tube amp on the red channel.

Channel 2.....

None; the guitar should be clear enough in the mix regardless of solo

Stuckfast

These days I think I'd just turn the guitar up.

Arc Effects or RYRA Klone.

Edit: and usually a Carbon Copy delay as well.

An EQ pedal, then you can add mids as well as volume. 

Maynehead

A looper pedal to bring in a delay and EQ set to reverse V shape, run in the amp’s fx loop. That’s normally enough, but if I need additional gain I can step on the soul food out infront of the amp too.

I don't gig now but in the past it was always a Rat - I had 2 on a board - One set-up with little gain, but vol up for more natural boost - The other had more gain as required 

Bennyboy-UK

Guitar vol knob up to 10 normally I spose...

Adey

I use a TC Electronics Spark Booster, or boost channel on amp.

Sassafras

I've used everything from an EQ to a Fuzz Face.

LPManic

Just turn the knob to 9,5. 

stickyfiddle

Tubescreamer if I want more dirt or Alembic Stratoblaster (kit from fuzz dog) if I just want juicy cleanish boost

Jalapeno

Xotic EP Boost, sometimes just that, often to give the Zendrive a kick in the goolies !

skullfunkerry

Mosky Golden Horse

Accelerator, so I can make a quick getaway when they realise I'm playing derivative crap. Badly.

this, or a fuzz

Branshen

Whatever dirt pedal I've accidentally set my multifx to. As long as its louder and gainier, it will do. 

WiresDreamDisasters

A midi pedal that turns on 18 delays and 12 reverbs.

Danny1969

I turn my antiboost off which makes the signal louder and makes the pedal light come on even though it's actually in bypass when it's on.
