Questions about live shows with the E2S...

Hello, guys. Up till now I had two live shows with my Electribe2s in combination with the Roland Voice Transformer 3.
It sounds pretty magical and all, but I have some issues with the volume levels. I know that when you use hardware, the sound will always be lower than a compressed and mastered track. This seems to be a problem when I have to play after a DJ whose tracks are all loud as hell. I reach the maximum volume of the knob and still sound a bit quieter. I'm not much of a hardware guru, so I turn to you (like Mel C). Should I find some sort of amplifier pedal or something to try and match the amplitude of mastered tracks? How do you guys bypass this or do you think it is even a problem at all? I can\t put compressor or limiter on the Master FX, because I need that for delays and reverbs almost constantly
Also, I've started to remove the Filter effect on most channels, since it seems to be stealing voices as well, which is very annoying. I've inserted my vocals in a channel instead of just sending it through, so I can manipulate it in all sorts of creative ways. Sometimes when I start chanting, other channels disappear, which is normal, but still, kind of silly, when there are just 4 to 5 channels active and none of them uses stereo or delay effects (except the MFX, of course).
Thanks!
