My general criticism of pub level cover bands is that every song is intro then everyone in playing all the time until the song ends and there are no dynamics. At least the OP won't have a second guitarist to tell to shut up.
EDIT: Should add that I totally agree with your second part, about lack of dynamics when everyone plays over every part.
There's a great Clash record...Police and Thieves maybe?...where there is a kind of call-and-response thing between the two guitars, with Mick Jones kind of adding a chopping little thing at the end of each phrase rather than just Ramonesing his way through everything with barre chords, and it sound so much better for it.

When Andy Summers does a bit of a solo on message in a bottle it sounds flat as hell which is why they used backing tracks on the last tour and why Queen used a keys player and Muse use a keyboard player ( and a whole host of other backing including backing vocals ) and even Green Day had a second or sometimes third guitarist when I saw them.
.
Even good old ZZ Top were using a little bit of packing when I saw them live a few years ago and they are the masters of the one guitar band
And a smattering of delay
Ive only ever been the only guitarist in my bands - apparently my style has developed that way anyway
