More Depth

If I'm not mistaken, your cab is 125W RMS (continuous). Before you go nuts with a rack solution (which will NOT be a solution, IMO), I honestly think you should consider replacing the cab with something more substantial.

No amount of effects or rack enhancers will make up for a cab that can't keep up at high volumes during a gig.

+1. The man has a point. No point altering the signal you put into a cab if the cab can't properly translate the signal into sound waves.
 
Get a DBX 120A/120XP or DOD Meat Box. :D

the meat box will really color your sound and is monophonic(only one note). the dbx can get muddy or just blow up your speakers if you push the low end too far.

i agree with the bbe maximizer or a bass exciter. i really like the way my sound is from bass to amp and found very few effects that did not change it too much other than the bbe or an exciter.
 
I know you most likely don't need more volume but you need to be felt/heard better. I don't usually suggest this but you NEED a new cab! It's AMAZING what more speakers can do to your tone.

Yesterday I had my usual jam session with some friends and I typically just use my 2x10 (as it's just a jam session) but this time I decided to bring my nv610 from my dummers house. I love the way the nv610 fills up the room and makes my rig sound top notch.
