Is your band running into a larger PA system that sends everything through the larger Front of House speakers? And are there floor monitor wedges? Or do you use In Ear Monitors?
With monitors, any half way decent sound guy should be able to give you a mix that meets your needs to be able to hear YOU.
Without running monitors, maybe try moving away from the drums and/or rhythm guitarist.
I've been experimenting with multi-fx units and they can sound excellent. I just played an outdoor gig through several thousand watts and the multi-fx works very well that way. The mics on your amp have to be turned up to get enough of your amp, but the problem is those mics pick up the drums, OR JUST AS BAD THEY FEED BACK and cannot be turned up as high. With direct PA feeds, there are no feedback issues.
