You should be able to do it with shadow/highlights as well. The highlight won't change if you move only the shadow slider. It's pretty much the same thing as pegging the curve. Also, if you have it in RAW, you can increase overall brightness without changing the highlight. In fact, you can increase low and midrange brightness while decreasing the highlight value by moving the exposure slider to the left and moving the brightness slider to the right. You can open up the darkest shadows at the same time by moving the shadow slider to the left.
