Out of interest, what's your objection to just popping an EQ in the loop?  It's simple, cheap, and you can boost the mids too.

...don't want to run 4 cables to put a boost in the loop etc.

Putting an eq in the loop and switching from the front of the stage would require running two additional cables to front of stage (send + return).

The Underliner has a remote switching unit that only requires one cable - the main unit stays close to the amp.

Yeah, I get that.  But it's only one more cable than using an amp with a footswitch.  Just seems a lot of hassle/expense finding another amp.  I'm sure the OP can find someone to make him a cable or two...

Setup time, the spare cable becomes a main cable which means carrying 5 cables to every gig instead of 3, don't want to change my whole board layout around from everything in the front to split, cos once I put a boost in the loop I'll put reverb and delay... then I'm back to the complicated setup I cut down from 5/6 years ago

Didn't MJW produce something like this once?

The new Victory Super Sheriff has dual master volumes. Spendy, though.

So does the Victory Sheriff 25 and it's £800 cheaper.

Ah, didn't know they'd put it on the 25, too, that's cool.

Fair enough.

(4-cable method is a doddle to set up with a patch box and cable snake, though.)

What sort of budget you looking at? 

A Friedman Small Box combo would do what you’re after. Shared EQ, footswitch between a different gain and volume level.

 “Channel” two voiced slightly more modern (think 800 ish), channel one voiced more Plexi ish. 

One button footswitch. Simple. 

I also happen to be selling one…. 

PM me if you want the Reverb link. We could work out a deal.

How about one of these?
