Hi, does anyone have any advice on what pedals can give You a more smooth soloing tone. Any amp I've ever owned has either had a killer chords sound with a so-so solo tone or vice versa. How can I get a creamy lead sound out of My amp maybe using some stompboxes? My first guesses might be a compressor or an EQ. Which one would make the most dramatic difference?

Re: Solo tone question
An EQ would make the most dramatic difference. Use it to set your lead tone, and leave your amp set to your rhythm tone. A slight boost near 1K on the EQ pedal would give you better tone separation from the mix for your leads.
The Compressor would just act as a peak limiter, and may add some noticeable "click" to your leads, and may actually reduce the punch of certain notes.
