Maybe a Boss sd-1 or a Bad Monkey upfront for a bit of a gain and volume boost.
Works best if you have a lowish gain setting on the amp though, otherwise it'll just compress more.
Although, given a choice I'd take an MXR microamp in the F/X loop as my own boost-of-choice.

Using two pedals as described ( or something with a built in boost like a BOR)into the clean channel probably gives you more control; an overdrive into the distortion channel of an SS amp might not produce the desired result - just make everything very squishy.
I'd be slightly wary of a TS style pedal, that mid hump into a small combo can sound very boxy, although I'm sure it will cut through.
IIRC @ICBM is an occasional Peavey Studio user so he might have an idea of how they get on with boost/ OD pedals.
Post gain on max, pre gain on 3-4, bass/treble at 5 & (surprisingly) mids on 3.
Guitar volume on 7 for rhythm & 10 for lead; cuts through nicely
I've said this in another thread here. But i'm amazed more amp companies don't fit a switchable 2nd master volume. No messing about, whatever volume hike you need is instantly available on a pot.
Perfect solution!
