Used to occasionally run into similar problems. Game changer for me was putting a Micro Thumpinator on my board. It cuts out all of useless frequencies below 37Hz (I think) which suck all the power out of your amp and cause the drivers to flap about, potentially causing severe damage. Wouldn't be without it now because it focusses the sound right where you need it. I'd also look at pushing the mids in the EQ to try to get some more cut through.

Because You're Young - David Bowie

Tangerine - Led Zeppelin

The Runaway - Del Shannon

Happy - Pharell Williams

Psycho Killer - Talking Heads

Monet For Nothing - Dire Straits

Intensely irritating plonker. I'd watch Danny Seppuku though.

I have the 100 and the 500 combos. The 100 is loud enough for most stuff I play (pubs) but the 500 has more power (obviously) and disperses the sound better so I use that a fair bit too. Both are cracking amps and, in my opinion, sound best when the 'vintage' button is engaged.

I Knee to Know - Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers

Great shout.

I'd Rather Go Blind - Ella Fitzgerald

Prayer for the Dying - Seal

Blockheads - Ian Dury & the Blockheads

Stagger Lee - Lloyd Price
