Alright, so im still stuck on this problem with getting a bigger/louder amp setup. I want something to use live with my POD, and i want plenty of volume. I need to be able to play shows with another guitarist, a drummer, a bass player and vocals. I would like to get some tubes in my setup, as i have been told they sound the best with a POD, but due to the price, i am flexible with this. I wanna keep the price somewhere around 800$ and under if possible. My band is has a pretty loud PA, but its not always at access with some of the gigs we will be playing, so i need something that could hold its own when the PA isnt there to help me. So my choices are:
1. the Atomic amp. The ONLY problem i have with this is its 18 watts. i know its tube watts, but still, i dont know if its going to be able to be heard through all of those instruments playing anything from raggae to rock. this amp would work awsome with our PA, but for those times i wont have that luxary, im not so sure it will work. please correct me if im wrong.
2.Power amp (tube or solid state) and a cab. Id probably get a 4x10 cab or a 2x12 cab just for the sake of space. As for the power amp, ill take anything as long as it is loud enough, and as long as it will sound good. My only problem here is price.
3. A combo amp. Again, tube or solid state. My problem here is i dont wana get an amp where i will bypass all of the preamp controls. seems like a waste of money.
So any suggestions u guys have for me would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
