The Amps/Overdrives Thing

Try a simpler boost that shapes tone in the way you want your solos to be changed. I like a change in character for solos. Not just a level boost. Either more mids, more upper mids, more treble (more modulation! LOL) something! I do not want just a louder but otherwise unchanged version of what I’m already playing. And yes, multiple amps and multiple guitars might require a few pedals to get what you want for each, but once you roll thru a few, it’s easy to find ones that “fit” each guitar/amp/solo tone you’re after.

If what is right for you IS a flat boost that just makes your existing tone louder and does nothing else, you can find one of those.

I would tend to agree with this. To me, a lead tone benefits from different tone shapes.
