Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Thats exactly what I thought. (to do)
I just wanted to make sure. Im new to this electronic drumming. 

I see the DIP switches, 
Q: Do these switches actually help "Boost" my sound? 
Can I flip up the #6 switch *and achive a stronger Ride sound now
with the stock Yamaha PCY65 Ride (Im currently useing) ??? 
Would it help? The sound now (stock/factory settings) is kind of 
week. 

Crash comes through the mix.....good & loud.
The Ride (i feel) is overall week. 

and just my opinion: The hi-hats???? Well they are totaly WEEK!
* The pedal, does NOT feel/sound/ or work 1/2 as well as accoustic.  

Then again, I use 15" Zildjians on my accoustic kit to get 
FULL/MAXIMUM projection.
