Hi Guys,
So my Mark V:35 amp and 2x12 vertical Recto (v30s) cab had its first outing on the weekend.
My drummer from a prior band (who I have not played with in years) drowned me out to the point where I was embarrassed and moreso disappointed with the lack of volume my amp put out. I was running in 35W mode and cranked to about 9 as I didn't want to push it any harder.
For a gig sure we could mic up but we are just jamming atm without a PA.
My mate had a solid state Fender that was LOUD!
I assume using a 4x12 won't help and I need perhaps a Mark V 90W amp...perhaps the combo? I suspect moving up 15W to a 50W amp won't be much of a step up?
I just sold a Marshall JCM2000 100 head and 4x12 as I didn't think I'd ever need that power again, and to be honest I can't carry that bulk around anymore. 90% of my playing time is at home in an apartment.
What do I do?
