Hi Terry,
Steve is using a small booster pedal ( or at least has been for a long time ) to boost the lead sounds.
Also, what you can do ( I dont think Steve had this done ) is to get the amp modified and have the option to switch that pull-switching of the A-channel by MIDI.
That way, if you send a certain MIDI-signal, the amp might i.e. switch to Channel B while switching off the boost of Channel A...
Also, different tubes and tube combinations ( better get that checked by a tech, trial and error might lead to some damage ) might alter the sound of the amp and might make it sound more balanced.
In the studio, Steve is using several amps, the Marshall being only one of them. So he might just use it for only one sound ( like the boosted lead sound ) and use something different for clean sounds. Live howver, he uses a small booster...
Hope this helps
Eric

: I recently bought a Marshall 25/50 50watt combo. I know steve uses a 100 watt Jubilee. I wonder how he uses the input gain setting. You can pull it out and make the clean channel distorted but when you do the lead channel losses some bass. I was wondering how he maximizes the sound of the lead channel relative to the clean channel. The lead channel sounds better with the clean channel gain not pulled out, and dialed in about 7. Then how does he boost the lead?
