Try building in more double stops, faux pedal steel bends, open strings ringing through and sweep picking into your leads... I always find those techniques add a lot of texture instead of just wailing on individual notes... you don't have to get too indulgent with the likes of sweep picking either... I know it can be a bit wanky but it's a great way to get from point A to point B with a bit more girth sometimes...
Could also be a good idea to try downtuning or alternate tunings... the opportunity to just shapes in a lead run to thicken it up would be good?
In terms of hardware I'd look into the following:
- EQ pedal
- Whammy / harmonising pedal
- Octave pedal / octave fuzz
mk.gee has some thick sounding guitar tones... worth checking this out for some inspiration too...
- EQ pedal

Hive mind suggestions please! my new band is really coming together now, but its the only time Ive ever played in a trio, and when it comes to solo time the sound really thins out and the momentum kind of disappears. Have any of you lot ever dealt with this issue, and have any tricks of the trade to recommend? Bass player has some kind of sansamp multi-button pedal for adding dirt and stuff, though I haven't specifically directed his decision making in aid of not being a autocratic despot
