One of the ways I found to work around the 8 per, or 3-channel amp stimulation is to stack pedals. Pedals 1 and 7. 7 switches between your clean and crunch "channels", and 1 switches on your lead/solo effects. Both off you have clean, click 7 and you have dirt, click 1 and 7 and you have distorted lead, click 1 and you have your lead boost on either the clean or dirty channel. The buttons are directly above each other on the far side of the board, so it's easy to stomp either one, or both at the same time.
