I want to use a 1/2 CTO gel on a strobe (Genesis 400). Obviously, when mounting the softbox, the reflector that a gel would otherwise be placed upon is removed. So how would I gel a strobe w/softbox? Or is that not really something that's done?

Thanks! It'll have to be inside; outside is just too big.
