Well... getting rid of your drummer is 1 main option you can go with. Just use drum machine, hehe.
I guess 30 watt Peavey is louder thatn 22 watt Fender. But I don't think it'll give you that much difference or enough headroom for that matter. Plus... you still have that loud banging drummer of yours to take into consideration, hehe
. I know how it feels. When I was with my cover before I never used anything lower than 50 watts just because of the simple fact that our drummer was loud. Boy, wish those guys come with a volume knob
Not suggesting you get a new amp, but have you checked aroung for a nice 50 watter amps out there? The Devilles, I believe, can do the task pretty well with enough headroom for you play around in. They're a little bit expensive and heavier in weight than what you have now... but will take care of your volume problem. Your in Canada, how about the Traynors, or Carvins. Phil just got the Nomad 1x12 50 watters. He loves it. Loud and light
