There are ways to get there, but all have issues. I'll describe my issues with ModelVolume, using the Compressor as a boost, and the Master Volume below.
But what I'd hope for is a global parameter allowing a setting in decibels. When invoked it would boost whatever rig is loaded (at whatever volume it has been adjusted to) by that DB amount. If this had midi control it could be assigned to a button or expression pedal. Better still if just clicking the current loaded rig button (A,B or C) could just toggle that boost - load rig B, click B again to get the boost, click again to turn boost off, etc. That way it could work without the need for an extra switch.
I had originally thought to use the ModelVolume parameter, but that's the only way I've found to balance between rigs. There can be a very wide range of volume differences between various rigs. And if you change cabs, that can also give you a big jump up or down. I've been using the ModelVolume parameter as a way to try and balance the volumes of each bank/slot to one another. But since ModelVol could then end up at any value, there is no way to set it up in a way to consistently boost the current rig for a solo. You'd have to figure out what value to bring it up by 3db or so, then assign some way to toggle between the min and max.
The Compressor in post would work, and it can be set to boost 3db, 4db, etc. But this would also need to be set for each rig individually. And it would mean the compressor is also unavailable as a pre-amp compressor effect and could only be used as a Boost.
The master volume could work, but there is no way to assign it or control it through midi.
Using some kind of clean external boost after the Tonex could work, but hard to find if you use stereo outs.
Clicking B twice as you describe is currently used already (bypass that preset).
Why not just use two presets for that. Now you are even more flexible: add gain, lower compression etc.
If however you want a solo setting on specific presets, just use an external single switch (TRS not MIDI). You can use it to create macros (basically two scenes that you can switch between with multiple setting changing simultaneously), see documentation.
