Hey guys,
What power amp would you fellows recommend for me to use with my axe fx for live performances?
I play in metal band and the other guitarist uses a Peavey P6505+ (120 Watt) into a vader cab.
I have a VHT 2/50/2 connected to my axe fx. (I connect right into a single 4X12 guitar cab)
With that being said I simply was not loud enough. While the other guitarist was on 3 I was at 3 o clock (so like 7 or 8).
Sadly I am going to have to part with this VHT 2/50 and get a better power amp with more wattage.
So this is where I need some advice.
What type of power amp would you recommend? Solid State? Tube Powered? Wattage?
I heard that Solid State power amps work surprisingly well with the Axe (Carvin DCM 600) but it makes me a little nervous to attempt it since maybe the people who are using it are connected differently then myself. They could be connected through monitors with the cab sim and sag on. (so they are fully utilizing the axe). Meanwhile I have those things off when I am running it through my VHT 2/50/2 into my 4X12. So what is working awesome for them might not be the best in my situation. Well this is why I am asking you guys. LOL
Thanks for helping me out!
