Silhouette / Axis SS / Reflex in the mix

Just asking for some advice if any of you have struggled with similar issues...
I play an Axis SS, a Reflex, and a Silhouette (HSH). My issue is that when playing the Silo, the sound is much more "lost in the mix" than the other two. Obviously the PUPs on the Reflex and Axis are hotter and EQ'd differently. Does anyone have experience as to how to effectively EQ the Silo to get it to cut as much as the other two?
 
Aside from just tweaking the amp volume slight, another suggestion would be to add an EQ/Boost pedal to your board and boost the Silo up when switching to it
 
Thanks for the suggestions. I may try the EQ/Boost pedal. I've tried simply boosting the volume, but the Silo just gets lost in the "mud" of the mix. I'd rather not change the PUP's... I want to sound the Silo gives. Again, thanks.
