Instead of people asking "how do I get the best solo sound out of this or that", why don't you EXPERIMENT with it yourself. It took me a while, without asking anybody, to get the sound that I wanted out of my amp or pedals. Nobody can tell you how you want your pedal to sound.

I wouldn't worry about getting the best possible solo sound out of your equipment, your probably never going to manage it. You can have a £2,000 signature ibanez and a custom mesa boogie triple rectifier, it will still only be 1 sound. I usually just add a touch of reverb and delay... then vary the gain depending on the music. Depends entirely what the solo'ing is for. Blues/metal/rock etc.

My advice is to stay away from solid state amps. They dont give a good sound for soloing. I have found even with pedals i cant get a nice sound for solos.
I find adding a bit of reverb on my solid state amp makes my soloing sound a lot nicer.
As most other people said... it depends on what kind of sound you like best. Just mess around with the settings and find a sound YOU like.
By virtue of their electrical properties, tubes generate a special waveform when they're saturated, which is why tube engineering has tremendous tonal advantages over solid state or DSP solutions, particularly for crunch and lead sounds. Tubes enter the saturation zone gradually or softly, which lends tube-driven tone its trademark yet totally unique character.
