Two suggestions.
1) Keep the Strats configured as they are 2) Spend the next few years chasing tone through pedals If you follow this advice, you will *not* thank me

I have a couple of American Strats. I put in Seymour Duncan Hotrails neck/bridge in one of them and left the other stock (although I may have put a Texas Special in the bridge... I'll have to check). Gives me more options.
So, you can always change pickups in one of them to give you a different tone. Not just a single coil swap for another single coil but put in a humbucker or rail pickup. |

Any suggestions for skipping amps altogether and running direct to PA? I know that sounds crazy, but just curious if there are effects that would get me a great clean tone that way.
I did the whole tube comb thing for a decade of live shows in NYC, in the late 90s - 2010, kind of over that and curious what tech has come out since that might allow me to skip the combo amp altogether... |

Try adjusting the pickups. But first measure what you have.

but if you need more "punch" at lower volumes, I'd consider moving over to relying on a good over drive. There's so many to chose from... compressors can do a lot too, they can be over used, but in the right setup, they are pretty good as a way to get some sustain with out "dirt" or gain.
