I my self when ever I had a full rack rig, i always craved getting an EQ or a BBE sonic maximizer, a tone enhancer, etc.. and honestly, I always ended up removing everything and playing with my MP-1 3TM into a VHT 2/50/2 and info a 4x12 Cabinet. Power Tube volume makes the MP-1 shine alot more than an EQ. I did always have a Noise Gate through. You can go wrong with the ISP Decimator.
when i did have an EQ, I always found my self playing around and adjusting the EQ than I was playing.
My recommendation, turn the power amp to a higher volume and adjust the MP-1 gain according. Remember that OD1 is more the "Fluid" gain and OD2 is the "chug gain". Having higher output Pickups on your guitar means using Less OD1 possibly. It'll all depend on your setup of course and your picking style.
Hope that helps.
Good luck
