What to do...!

Looking for a wee bit of advice here.
I play lead in a punk/heavy rock band and I'm in a constant battle with the rythm player/frontman over guitar levels. He uses a Gretsch through a Big Muff and a Danelectro Fabtone and I use a Les Paul through a Boss Overdrive and electro Harmonix Linear power booster.
What could I use so my lead parts cut through his racket?
My current setup just makes everything sound very muddy.

A graphic EQ with the mids boosted and the level notched up a few DB's, or a wah pedal will bring you up in the mix.
The downside to plugging into anything is you have little time or control to set it perfectly or close too...
What exactly is the linear power booster? im guessing something that is generally aimed at boosting tube/valve preamp sections so may muddy things up or clip a digital or modeling amp..not something that sound pleasant...
But the EQ/wah or combination of both will help you cut through for leads the eq can just be switched on or off once you've set it hit it then it will raise the frequencies if you wnat or just the volume...

The boss EQ's arent that expensive you may find one used for a good price it will do what you want and more, the mxr 10 bands are probably overkill.
Sounds like your toher gutiarist has the cant let anyone else be heard over him syndrome..
The wah should cut through the mix incredibly just push it down and wail away...
